    Internet Explorer Automatically Resizes Site

    hi,

    I am trying to set up a basic site, which is going to be approx 900 wide.

    However when viewing the site in actinic it looks how i want it too, i.e. with in the right margins, but when i upload the site to the internet, depending on the size of my internet window, the monitor automatically resizes it. This doesnt happen on any of my other sites. Is there any easy way to stop this happening?

    thanks in advance.

    A URL would be handy.

    If a width is declared in pixels it will stay that way ... if declared as a percentage it will scale to fit.

      url would be good

      and yes set your page wrap to 900px, if you have 100% then it will grow to the monitor size

                The site looks fine in Actinic as the browser view is narrow. The simplest way to resolve - I assume you do not know HTML asking the question - is to wrap everything into a <div>

                Switch to the design tab and navigate to the outer layout. Just after the <body> tag add

                <div id="pageWrapper">

                and just above </body> at the very bottom of the page add

                </div>

                in the actinic.css add the following:

                #pageWrapper {
                width: 900px;
                }

                that will contain the whole page into 900px wide container. This may bring more issue but is a starter for 10.

                If you want to centre the container you can add:

                margin: 0 auto;

                to the stylesheet - the auto ensure a horizontal alignment.

                  As jont said

                  seriously it would be the esiest way as you have a number of tables at 100% so predifine the page then they will fit to the <div> jont has given you

                    The "best" way is to remove the 100% width to the tables and declare a fixed width ... but with the number of nested tables this can get messy and you need to get them all ... the <div> is a fudge that will get you up and running.
