How can I make the webpage display the same on different sized screens?

I have made a webpage, but it appears differently in different resolutions. I am in 1920x1080 and it appears fine on my screen, but anything smaller than that, the text is zoomed in more and it is not central.
website can be found here: http://www.fitness4funswindon.net23.net/1_Index.html
How do I get this webpage/site to appear in only one specific resolution?

Thank You

all I want is the content to be centered on all resolutions. How am I to this?
APDivs as a primary layout method seldom works well. Here is why:
http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
Don't use positioning.  You don't need it except in very rare situations.  APDivs are removed from the normal document flow, so centering them is impossible unless you wrap them all inside a relative positioned parent element.
Best advice, start over with one of the centered, fixed-width layouts that comes with Dreamwever.  
Go to File > New > Blank page > HTML > Layouts (choose one from the right side panel).  Hit Create button.
Use CSS floats, margins & padding to align elements.
Btw, I am not too good with coding/css
That's a shame.  You should get up to speed with code basics soon otherwise DW will continue to frustrate you.

    How can I make the Lion iCal display more readable?

    I'm wondering the same thing.
    Under Lion, my calendars' color coding is next to useless because they're suddenly so muted.
    Previously I could easily pick out which events belonged to which calendar without effort. Now, all the colors are so light as to be nearly indisinguishable; I must toggle calendars off and on to highlight a calendar's events.

  • How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

    When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
    displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
    the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
    the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
    correspond to the black.
    Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
    how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
    Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

  • How can I make the edges of the JSC component curved?

    It is a very common practice to make the edges curved in web development. Curved edge looks attractive and professional. (for example see blog.com)
    How can I make the edges of the JSC component curved? For example, consider Textfield component, how to make the the sharp edges smooth and curved?
    Thank you very much.

    Follow the steps below implement rounded edges for tabs in a tabset component:
    1)Create 2 images: level1_selected.jp and level1_deselct.jpg to be used as the background for these tabs. Thse images can be easily craeted using windows paint software. Just ceate a rectangular image of size 200X30 and draw a rounded rectangle on it.
    2) Redefine the following styles in your application stylesheet(originally defined in css_master.css)
    .Tab1Div td.Tab1TblSelTd {
         background-color:#EDF5F8;width: 200px;height:40px;background-image:url(images/level1_selected.jpg)
    .Tab1Div td.Tab1TblSelTd {
         background-repeat:repeat-x;background-position:left bottom;border-bottom:none
    .Tab1Div td {
         background-color:#EFEBEF;width: 200px;height:40px;background-image:url(images/level1_deselect.jpg);border:none
    .Tab1Div td {
         background-repeat:repeat-x;background-position:bottom left
    a.Tab1Lnk:link, a.Tab1Lnk:visited {
         display:block;padding:8px 15px 0px;font-weight:bold;text-align:center
    Results: By doing this you'll have the selected and unselected tabs show up with rounded egdes and also the selected tab will look bigger than the unselected tas making it more prominent.

  • How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny?

    How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny in Firefox? I tried some suggestions that dealt with entering "about:config" in a fresh browser, but to no avail. I also downloaded an add-on called "Theme Font & Size Changer", but that didn't work either. So, I am reaching out here as that was a suggestion that another user here offered.

    Ah, yes- that is an ultra high DPI (dots per inch) display. This is a known issue in Flash Player, which Adobe is working on fixing.
    In the mean time, you can get some videos to have normal-sized controls by switching Youtube to the HTML5 video player:
    In Firefox, go to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and click the "Request the HTML5 player" button.

    When talking about a specific image posting the image may be useful.
    One can use a Layer Mask and add a white Layer underneath.

  • HT1364 I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again.  How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanen

    I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again.  How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanent?  I have an older machine with Windows XP.

    I don't believe mounting the hard drive should be necessary, unless you have several external drives and want your computer to recognise them as folders, rather than drives. I've never had to mount a hard drive, ever. If you don't know how to do it, then it shouldn't be necessary now.
    Try this:
    Prepare iTunes so that it can see the external drive.
    Make a note of which drive-letter the external drive has been allocated. (Look in Windows Exploer)
    Look at the file location for a song. Make sure it plays (and therefore that iTunes has found it). Highlight it and select File/Get Info/Summary>Where: and make a note of the drive letter for that song.
    Close and shut down the computer.
    The next time you turn the computer on again, connect the external drive
    Before you start iTunes - check the external drive in Windows Explorer. Is it ready, does it have the same drive-letter that it had last time? Can you go into the drive and see the files on it?
    Once you can, start iTunes. (If the drive lettter has changed, you need to work out why before going any further.)
    If iTunes fails to find your external drive, you need to check where iTunes is looking for your Library.
    Select the same song you checked before (presumably iTunes can no longer find it). Follow the procedure for locating it. You should be able to see where iTunes thinks the file is. It's the drive that counts. Which drive letter is iTunes looking at? Is it the same one that it was previously (which should also be the same one that the drive has now).
    What happens, which step do you have problems with?
