Width of the Web page

When laying on a web page, how do you determine how wide you want the layout to be. I saw the main contained presentations will of, say, 764px to 1024px.
Is it better to use a percentage, such as 100%?
I'm trying to grasp the basics... Sorry if it's a matter of space cadet...

It is answered at least 2 times a week on the general forum of Dreamweaver.

> How determine how wide you want the layout to be?

You either make a bald-face, or a conjecture informed as to what the navigation
habits are the public target of your site. If it is top-notch artsy types,.
You can go wide. If it's MOM and dad, you can go
narrower.

The General two widths to choose are ~ 760px and ~ 980px. The former
will give you a page that isn't down horizontal scroll bars on a maximized
browser window on a screen of 800px width. The latter will be the same on a
maximized the browser window on a 1024px width screen.

  • How to fix the screen on DW width to match the width of the web page?

    I have DW CS4 on my PC. How can I get the DW screen width to match the same width of screen on the website.  The screen on DW is plus sized and I need to use the sliding bar at the bottom to see the complete form. When I place pictures in a text file and load the file on the web, they are lined with Miss placed and sometimes longer. The percentage of the screen does not solve the problem. Help!

    Close all panels and Panel groups.  Resize the design Panel by dragging the edges of the Panel in the widest possible.

    When I place pictures in a text file and load the file on the web, they all move them and sometimes more polished.

    This means a much bigger problem than the size of the screen.  More like a design approach and the vitiated provision.

    Despite what you may have been led to believe, the Design view is not and has never been WYSIWYG.  At best, it's an approximation of what you might see in some older browsers.   Live View is a little better at rendering of page but preview locally in real browsers is essential.

  • How to prevent large gaps on the Web page when you use the behaviours slide?

    I searched the forums for similar problems with application behavior slide to the elements through the DW CS5 interface and find a useful post titled "problem with Spry Applying"Slide Effect"so now my slide effects works the way I want to, except instead of dragging out a legend after clicking on an image I slip on a list of text items when you click on a section of text.  It works, but there is a gap when the first load of the Web page. How can I remove/avoid this great whitespace to appear?

    Hello

    in my opinion, this technique is not designed for the two panels. To do this you must use the "Spry several sliding elements"-technique in which panels will be triggered by the individual buttons. "" Here is the link for it:

  • Is it possible to control size of the web page?

    Hello
    I apologize if this question is stupid, or base, or if it is not logical at all, but I'm totally new in all this, so please, be patient with me.
    I wonder if there is a way, how to control the size of the web page. What happens if I want the page to be, let's say that 450 x 450 pixels? Forge, inserting these dimensions in the body tag to get there? Something like

    < body bgcolor = # "000000" width = "450" height = "450" >

    Thanks for any information or you advise.
    See you soon

    Nope. You must build the page so that nothing would be wider
    / bigger than your width / height, and then when the page loads.
    resize the window browser for these dimensions. It is usually
    considered one of the most offensive things that you can do to your visitor.

    Why do you do this?

  • Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

    Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

    Firefox window is sometimes "off screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

    A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt. You can delete this file and Firefox will return to standard window resizing.

    #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

    Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

    Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the start search bar menu type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the profiles folder:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

    Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    Then, to re - light bars, you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select the desired bars it:

    To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.

  • Is there a option of zoon of the Web pages with Mozilla Firefox, if I have trouble reading the small print?

    I take a class any web business, and I can't find a lot of the functions that they speak.

    Hello
    Have you tried the Firefox zoom feature? This initiative will increase the size of the web pages.

    • To make things bigger, press Ctrl and + at the same time.
    • To make things smaller, press Ctrl and - at the same time.
    • Pour reinitialiser to reset the size of return to normal, press Ctrl and 0 at the same time.

    You can also use the NoSquint add-on to change the zoom level by default for all websites at the same time. After setting your overall zoom level, you can still adjust the zoom on different sites.

    With the help of NoSquint:

    1. After installation of NoSquint, make sure you have the add-on bar displayed:

      • Click the new tab button ("+") or a box empty bar tab to the right of the item and choose the module bar on the shortcut menu.
    2. Click on the % in the bar of the add-on call site preferences, then click the global settings button, then the zoom tab.
      • You can experiment with sizes greater than 125%, but it is not recommended that you will more than 150%, unless you have a large screen high resolution.

    If there are sites that are still a concern, feel free to post their URLs.

    Please let us know if this helped you!

    Thank you.

  • TB refuses my password - pswd is good because I can access e-mail on the web page of Yahoo from Verizon

    I use Yahoo from Verizon. Everything has worked when suddenly Thunderbird does not accept my password to give me the following error message: "sending the password failed. "Mail server incoming.yahoo.verizon.net replied: (#AUTH012) Incorrect username or password".

    However, the password is good because I can log on and get my email from the web page of Yahoo from Verizon.

    The problem is solved. Verizon-Yahoo never was informed to change the user ID in the settings of my account xxxxxx in [email protected], that is, simply add the @verizon.net to your user name on the server settings page.

    I could see a Web page that starts with https. However, the browser has been updated and 1 can no longer see the web page. I can see it in chrome, but I need Firefox because of the plug ins.

    Default browser got back to Chrome as liberation V30.0 seems to have a lot of problems loading pages to open links from other applications. The same url will load fine in Chrome.

  • Message from the Web page: "Scanstyles does nothing in Webkit/Firefox". I get this popup when I'm in my site of the Financial Institution.

    This popup occurs whenever I select an account in the Web page to view its details. Once I click OK it disappears, but appears again when when I select another account for display. It is not a barrier to the operation but rather boring.

    I guess that site does not support the basis of Webkit and Gecko according to browsers.

    WebKit - Chrome, Safari, etc of Midori.
    Gecko - Pale Moon, Firefox etc.

    Have you tried on IE (Trident based).

  • Some information are obscured by other text on the Web page

    A previous part of a hidden Web page. The owner of the Web page tells me its my browser and I have consulted the same webpage using Google and it was ok. It seems to be the fault of Firefox. How to fix it.
    I restarted in safe mode, but the site is the same.

    You are welcome.

    Web sites that use absolute dimensions, and then especially the height, for containers (text) are generally very sensitive to any change in the size of the font.
    Usually immediately, you notice that there are questions if you lean to recognize its effect and then you must undo the changes (temporarily) if it's really worse as in your case and content get lost.

    You use the zoom full page will not cause problems in most of the cases, but I have sen case when same zoom causes issues.
    If it's on the websites you visit every day, then you can invest some time to see if you can come up with a stylesheet with userContent.css or elegant code to disable specific height settings (i.e. apply height: auto! important ;) or set the font size settings.) Zoom has the disadvantage of content that is already great will get even bigger (this forum is an example: a text is extra large and some smaller than 100%).

  • Update of Firefox, and now all of the web pages and icons are inflated. How do I put back it as it was?

    Update of Firefox, and now all of the web pages and icons are inflated. How do I put back it as it was?

    Hello

    Firefox on Windows is now after display, scaling options that can make the biggest text on screens at high resolution.
    You can adjust the resolution of your screen.
    To change it follow these steps:

    • Type of topic: config in the Firefox address bar and hit the Enter key.
    • If the warning that this might void your warranty , click I'll be careful, I promised.
    • Search for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

    • Double-click layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to edit its value. The default value is - 1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to 1.0 to run as in previous versions of Firefox.

    If necessary, further adjust the value of 0.1 or 0.05. Values between 1.0 and around 0.5 to reduce the size of the elements. Use a value greater than 1.0 to increase the size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase the font size of the 125% to account for the default DPI setting in Windows 8. Check the value that you enter. Definition of a value that is too small will take everything away and too high will explode things.

    If the web pages should always be adjusted so you can watch the extension Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint .

    To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the extension of theme font & size changer .

    This solve your problems? Please report to us!

    Thank you.
