Why wont web pages fill the screen of the macbook, it only fills the middle

is there something on preferences that allows me to set the web pages to take up the full space provided on the screen, ive maximised the page, but the shown contents doesnt take up the whole page, i want to change this so it does, can some one tell me how to do it

As mentioned, it has a ot to do with the way to pages are coded. I personally hate it when a page fully expands and the lines of text stretch over the whole screen. It is much better when the text only expands to a certain width, then no further.
As far as the windows go, it is just one of the ways that the Mac OS differs from Windows. I find it to be easier to use when apps are in a windows rather than full screen, especially when I use Expose to switch between apps.
I have always found it interesting that Windows users generally do not use their apps in windows. I know I used to use full screen all the time in Windows, but now that I use my Mac more than the PC I find myself using windows instead of full screen.
Not better. Not worse. Just different.

  • How to stop IE9 from opening web page in the middle of browser

    Greetings,
    I'm opening a page with a video on it and for some reason, IE9 insists on opening the page so that the bottom of the video is in line with the bottom of the IE9 browser window.
    It's like IE doesn't want to cut off the lower part of the video.
    FF is not having this problem and opens pages with videos as it should; at the top.
    This pic doesn't really do it justice, but when the page opens, the video is in line with the bottom of the browser window.
    Thanks for any help you can give!
    k

    It looks exactly the same to me in FF10 and IE9 on Vista.  The page is longer than my viewport.  I must use the vertical scrollbar to see the page bottom.   Hit Ctrl+ - a couple of times to Zoom Out.  Refresh the page (F5).

  • How can I make my web page fill up the entire browser screen regardless of monitor it is viewed on,

    I have noticed that some websites are designed so that the page expands to fill in the entire screen, regardless of the size of the monitor. Here is an example: https://www.draft2digital.com/support/
    I have viewed the Muse tutorial that expands the Footer area to fill in the whole screen, but it does not address how to do this for the main part of the web page, or the header. I have looked at the site setup section and do not see where I could set it to expand.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Okay, in your link the blue bars would be in muse as a blue box then drag the right side so that it stamps just outside your page area. This will make muse program it so you will always see it extend to fill the browser window. Do the same on left side and you should be good. It will work even better if you also centre the rest of your content under page, page properties, padding - check the box for centre horizontally. Any content you want to extend with the browser, while the rest stays centred, you have to drag extending the content so it snaps just outside the main page in muse.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why don't any web pages fit the screen? I have to zoom adjust every single page.

    why don't any web pages fit the screen? I have to zoom adjust every single page.

    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

    That is not legit, it is a scam to gain access to your computer and information.

  • Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

    Why will safari not load web pages with the prefix "fhp"?

    Because it doesn't recognise them as valid addresses - just as the error message  says.
    Firefox is similar : Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (fhp) isn't associated with any program.
    Where are you seeing this problem ?.

  • Why do web pages look slightly blurred on Mac?

    I have a Mac Mini and a PC with XP on the same monitor, (using a kvm). Almost every web page I view looks better on the pc then the mac. On the mac, the fonts appear thinker and slightly blurred. the same web page on the pc is much sharper and clearer. Both use Firefox and res is the same on both 1280 x 1024. Even Apple's own site looks better on the pc! I've checked, and the same font's are installed on both. I've connected the Mac directly to the monitor, just in case it was the kvm, but no difference. I've also checked on other Mac's (albeit with larger screens), web pages look clearer on them.
    Why does a mac, supposedly renowned for its graphics, not display as well as a PC? Monitor is Belinea 19" flatscreen.

  • Web page inside the Director Stage

    Hello All,
    Is there a way for me to tell Director to bring up a web page
    inside the stage?
    I would like to have my own buttons on the lower half of the
    window and a internet browser on the upper half.
    Also I would like the user not to be able to access the URL
    bar.
    Thank you all

    If it's PC only, you can use the ActiveX control for free.
    One problem is if
    it's for filling out forms the tab key doesn't work.

  • Can multiple web pages use the same cookie?

    I have an applet that will reside in several different web pages. The applet creates a cookie that saves user preferences and loads them when the user next uses the applet. The problem is that I want the same cookie to load when the user views the same applet at a different IP Address. Is this possible? If so, how? I am currently using the netscape JSObject stuff to write and read my cookie.
    Thanks,
    Derek

    Sorry, you cannot access cookie across domains.
    If being able to access same cookie from different pages in the same domain satisfies you need, read on.
    Let's suppose you have two html files kept on your server as follow::
    MyHTML/main.html
    MyHTML/subDir/A.html
    Now, let say that when you save the cookie, the path is not specified. A.html will not be able to access the cookie set by main.html. However, if you specified PATH=/ (along with other values and expiry date-and-time), both html files will be able to access the same cookie via the document.getMember method.
    This is more of a JavaScript question than a Java question and you might want to pay a visit to the link below:
    http://forums.internet.com/WebX?[email protected]^[email protected]
    you can go to the bottom of that page, click search and type in cookie and you'll see a lot of Q&A on the topic.
    Good Luck

    I am sorry if thie is republished-My first time doing this and I am not sure what goes where and where to hear feedback.
    Have published iweb site for five years with no problems and just opened a new site and get -
    404: Page not found 
    This error is generated when there was no web page with the name you specified at the web site.-
    Troubleshooting suggestions:
    Ensure the page you are linking to exists in the correct folder.
    Check your file name for case sensitivity . Index.htm is not the same as index.htm!
    Temporarily disable any rewrite rules by renaming your .htaccess file if it exists
    is the problem with
    iweb or with hosting?
    One Apple tech started to fix Iweb and had to end session and the next said problem with hosting at Network Solutions as it published
    to local folder. NWS has checked sttting a few times-
    Any help would be extremely appreciated as trying to fix this for about five weeks
    Thanks VG
    <Email Edited by Host>

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (Even though I've now noticed you mis-spelled it! - anyway, never post your address in a forum.)
    You have a site here: http://virginiagordon.com/www.virginiagordon.com/WELCOME.html
    If that's not the page you are having trouble with, what is that page's URL?

  • What the best ways to save web pages  on the cloud ? Using an iPhone ?

    Dear folks
    I read a lot of web pages on iPhone that I need to refer to / come back to later
    I have limited space on my iPhone and do not want to clutter the phone saving all these pages
    What are the best options to
    a) save these web pages on the cloud ?
    B) Or mail them to myself ( again store on some specific gmail or so account ? )
    Or
    C) It would also be great to convert  them to PDF and mail them to myself or  save them on box dot net or Dropbox
    Or
    d) save them initially on the phone but , eventually move them in batches to my hard drive thru backups
    What is the best option ? And  What are the best ways to do this
    Free apps / solutions preferred
    If not so paid ones are okay 
    TIA
    Regards
    Subu

    Import photos to your computer, then delete the copies that reside on the phone. Also remove apps you no longer use.
