Hi there im looking for a bit of help with dreamweaver cs4 i've created a site and got in online and it looks great on my laptop but i've just viewed it on my dads pc on a larger screen and it looks tiny! the main part of the site only fills up the top middle of the screen and there is a gap at the bottom of the site i'd say a 3rd of the screen, and the margins are wider as well. Is there an easy way so the site fills the screen whether you're viewing it on a large or small screen? thanks in advance, paul

Link?

FWIW - I am finding Zoe Gillenwater's book Flexible Web Design useful in this regard. (I'm reading it via Safari Books Online, accessible for free from my local public library.)

Cordially, David

The essence of flexible design is the following two goals:
the text of the site should be readable in any size of window, in any browser – or on a device which doesn’t have graphical windows at all;
the complete site, including images, should look good over a wide range of window sizes, and acceptable over an even wider range.

Producing a flexible layout is not difficult unless you make it so.

I think your site is coded without flexible the page should shrink according to the screen size.
