Hi All
I am experimenting with different colours and page designs
with a client but
the site comes up using probably two thirds of the screen on
their PC.
They can view other websites without a problem.
We can view it ok here on several PCs
They have a new PC with Windows XP not sure about explorer
but probably 7
and I think they have a 19inch screen.
The address is www.hitechdemo.net
Could I please have some views on this problem and if it can
be fixed does
anyone know how ? We cannot go forward until this problem is
out of the way.
Regards
Helen

Your table width is 933px wide…usually this is far too wide
for a
lower resolution monitor setting.
For instance I’m on a resolution of 1024 x 768 and I see only
about, as
you say two thirds of the page, before I have the need to
scroll right
to see the rest of it. I can only see the complete page if I
widen my
browser window to the maximum on a 19inch monitor. Most users
don’t surf
around with a maximum width browser window.
If I reset my resolution at 1280 x 1024 (which I think a lot
of newer
monitors are set at) then I see the whole of the design in my
browser
window at the width I usually have my browser window set to.
There are two options
1. build your site at a width of about 720px-750px wide and
center the
design. This should cover a lot more browser window sizes OR
build your
pages so they are fluid. ie 100% wide, which will completely
fill a user
browser window and adjust to the width as they adjust there
viewing
settings.
I would at this point in time opt for option 1, making the
width of your
construction narrower.

I’m not exactly sure what you are seeing as a problem? Can
they *not* see
all of the web page and are only seeing a portion of it, or
is it the fact
that it is sitting on the left side of the screen with empty
real estate on
the right (if they have a larger monitor with window open at
full screen?)
I viewed the page in FFox, IE6 and IE7 and the page was left
aligned and no
problems viewing the whole page.
Only problem I see is on the
http://www.hitechdemo.net/Houses.html
page,
where the text (graphic) in the footer is being repeated
twice in Firefox
and IE.
Also, you have a table width declared:
<table width=”993″ height=”465″ border=”2″
bordercolor=”#006600″>
Is that what you intended? Or did you want a ‘fluid’ design.
Also,
bordercolor is decrepated and shouldn’t be used. You should
define the
table border via css.
table {border: 2px solid #006600}
That will look much cleaner across browsers.
PS: You also need to define a color for your page background,
for the
header and for the middle content area, I’m seeing my
browsers’ default hot
pink which I don’t believe you want 
I’m not sure what
color it’s
supposed to be… white I’m guessing…. so you need to add
background-color: white to the body tag.
If I’ve got it all wrong, please explain further what exactly
you have
having a problem with

Could you describe the problem in different terms? The page
looks to me
like it’s doing what it’s supposed to.
