your html should change to fit any resolution anyway. try it out for youself, look at it in 800x600 and then in 1020x800

I wouldn't bother with the wav files as alot of people will be listening to mp3s while visiting the site, they wouldn't want to listen to anymore.

First, I would like to know if/how I can set a page up so that it will change size to fit different sized monitors and/or resolutions? I have set up the club's pages to fit my 17" monitor with a resolution of 1024 x 768, but someone opens the pages with, say a 15" with a lower resolution, I would like to be able to have the page adjust itself to fit accordingly. Is this possible?

It is possible, you should use a template that allows for adjusting. I use Browser Master to make sure I don't have any scroll bar on the bottom, there's one on your site at 800 x 600. It's good for Firefox, Mozilla, IE, I think Opera can be plugged into it as well. I agree with the suggestion that you learn .CSS and HTML. Frontpage is limiting, but great for people that don't know HTML. I personally hated it after I learned how to code, I think I used it once then I went to Dream Weaver and finally just coded by hand.

Second, because we're in the holiday season and I am giving our pages a bit of a holiday theme, I would like to be able to add some .wav files to play when the page opens. I know how to insert a single .wav file, but is there a way to do it so that every time the page gets opened it will play a different .wav file (with a limit of say 3 o4 .wav files)?

Please, please, don't add music to your site, even with a place to turn it off. I click out of a site in less than 1 second if music is on it. It's a big turn off to a lot of people. And if you are a business site, it's not professional!

For what it's worth, the host that we're using for this website does not permit the use of any scripting (they want $$$ to be able to add scripting) so if there is a way to do what I am trying to do and without scripting (which I'm pretty sure I am going to need) I would appreciate it.

There are plenty of hosts out there that are probably either just as inexpensive as the host you are using now or a little higher. I've not heard anything about charging for scripts and I used to host sites. How odd. I guess the money is important? Anyhow, look around and switch hosts if you want...to be limited when you know what you want to do but cannot is frustrating.

Good luck!

I strongly advise against the music playing in the background, but if you must, have an option to turn the music on/off. Have a look at JavascriptKit, I think they have the scripts you are looking for.

Also, I strongly advise that you learn some HTML and CSS, as you learn more about web design, you'll find out why.
Here is a good place to start learning:

Good luck and have fun!

For your first question, just use %s instead of fixed widths to define everything on your site. This way it will conform to fit whatever screen is being used.

For your second question, about the music, I'm sure there is some sort of JavaScript code that you could use, and I don't think that would be considered scripting, since you could put it in an HTML document. But that's not my forte, so hopefully someone else will stop by and answer your question.

Good luck.
