Resolution problem

I am having a problem where I am not able to see my website properly. Unless my resolution is set
to 800 by 600 pixel
.
If I am using a resolution of 1152 by 864 pixels it shows me the site on the left site and not all over the scree.

How can I fix that? can anyone help? http://www.haitisurf.com

You can't totally fix it but you can make it look better. A couple of things to do would be to make the body background blue so that it is not as obvious where your tables are. The other would be to use % instead of fixed pixels in table cells. Or you can use a combination of fixed and % to achieve a better result.

If you are still having aesthetic problems you can try also designing the tables for a specific screen resolution then Centering the Table itself. (600X800 gives the best overall to avoid Scrolling issues). In other words the Whole page is contained in a singel Table cell with hard defined dimensions, No borders, (I have found that in a WYSIWIG Editor using 1 pixel cell padding and spacing makes it easier to distinguish it from the rest of the nested tables) and then has everything else nested inside it. You can then set your Inner tables to 100% and always have them come out the same viewing no matter what resolution the screen is at. Also any formatted text will always show up in the same places when viewed ...

Coding Example:
