Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone knows how to make the size of the display fixed, because when browser resolution changes so does the software display of the page, forum, or blog, but the adsense ads and images used for mast head and banner logos do not, therefore when a browser set at 800x600 comes to one of my sites, things are out of skew, because the mybb or wordpress, or index landing page, changes proportionately to the resolution setting, but the ads and graphics do not, now all the sites are set to be centered, with enough space on either side to allow for 800x600 to view full screen, i would like it to be as res goes up the site stays the same size just adding more space to either side of the web page, similarly to the way this page we are on does not change with resolution changes, only the space on either side does!

If anyone can tell me how this is done it would be greatly appreciated!

TSG!

P.S. Site is changing hosts and I need to repair some data loss, so the blog is a little messed up!

Dont do this, my mistake

On your Left and Right side's of the page, you've used Padding of 10px (i believe). You have to make it 0px.

My opinion, it could be this code (File: 3col_rightNav.css)
Once you've done that, i will be able to help you again.

That code adds 10px padding above, not on the sides or below.

The easiest way to achieve what you seem to be asking for is to stick a DIV around everything, with a fixed width of whatever you want (eg 750px for 800x600) and auto side margins to center it, simple as that.

Darn! Sorry about that, i was just so sure =) Im still positive that there is a padding on the left

There's a difference between margins & padding.

Margin is the wasted space... the dark grey on AF for instance.

Padding is how far away from the edge of the border you want the content.

Also, in CSS, the settings start at the TOP, then like a clock, go: Right - Bottom - Left. So, Margin: 10px 3px 10px 3px; Means that the top and bottom are 10px, and the left & right are 3px. etc.

You also do not have to indicate px when using 0. It should be:
You can indicate equal amounts top and bottom and equal sides with:
But it has been my long-time opinion that fixed width designs, especially in these days of larger monitors and better graphics capability, waste content area. You can use fluid widths to much more advantage. Good design does not have to be limited to 800px wide. This isn't to say everything should be 100% wide, but I haven't seen any good excuses for setting it at a fixed narrow width.

Aside from all that, TSG, you have some serious coding errors. W3C reports 48, but checking your page source reveals much worse. Your concerns should not be limited to how you can keep the masthead part of the page the same size as the rest of the page - that is the easy part.
