How to make web pages fit the screen width?

Some web pages don't fit the screen width and Firefox user (me) has to scroll horizontally, which is very annoying:

Opera user, on the other hand, just clicks on the "Fit to width" button and everything looks great again:

Is there a way to force web page text to wrap?

I get EXACTALY what "SantosHaHa" posted above. (Ffox 20 Win 7 64).
Zoom doesn't help. Make things bigger or smaller, BUT THE PAGE WIDTH IS STILL CROPED!
Have had this problem for 2 years and several versions.
NOTHING seems to work.
I wander why Ffox keeps changing versions so often, with so many new problems apearing, if Netscape worked fine 15 years ago!!!!

Make a StringItem fit the screen width

Hi,
I�m using a String Item in a Form and I�ve tried to make the Item fit the screen width by using the setPreferredSize(). But if the Text of the String Item is to long, the device still uses a second line to display the end of the text, which I don�t want.
This is how I tried to make my String Item be displayed on an unique line.
iTitleString = new StringItem("title : ","",Item.PLAIN);
int preferedWidth = this.getWidth();
iTitleString.setPreferredSize(preferedWidth,-1);
iTitleString.setText("blablablablablalblablalblalbla");
Thanks for your help

If you mean that it should fit to the screen width by making the font smaller, then you're out of luck. You can try setting a preferred height to avoid multiple lines, but in a best case scenario it would just mean that not all of the text will be displayed.

How to make a movie of the Screen

In OS 9 I was able to make a QuickTime of the screen while I was drawing in Photoshop. But that was a long time ago. How does it work in OS X Tiger. My old mac had a microphone. My new G5 imac does not.

You can still capture a screen in OS X. It saves your captures as .png image files to your Desktop.
Command-Shift-3 will capture all your see. Command-Shift-4 will turn your mouse into cross-hairs that you drag across any area. And a click on the spacebar (after the above keyboard commands) will turn your cursor into a camera icon that can capture individual windows. Still free.
Snapz Pro allows you to capture (as QuickTime video) anything in its window. It continues to capture until you close it.
One of my "movies" made with it:

Only 1.3MB's and it "plays" full screen.

IPhoto still won't make web pages using the comments field

I am someone who makes use of the comments field in iPhoto. I don't edit the title, because I thought it edited the photo file name (perhaps only in earlier iPhoto versions). Unfortunately, the Apple's tools for making a web page from iPhoto '08 seem to still use the title field only and not the comment field. That means that I have to edit all titles (to blank or a proper title) if I just want to show an annotation on just a few photos in a web page. At least the comments field defaults to blank, so I normally use it, along with the Better HTML plugin to make web pages, http://www.geeksrus.com/software/betterhtmlexport/
Now, the web pages produced by Apple are now as good as and even better than the BHTML templates, and I'd like to use them. But this problem with the comments means I can't quickly convert my old photo albums to something that makes nice web pages using my annotations with the iPhoto tools.
Does anybody know of any solutions to this problem? E.g. a script to copy the comments field to the title field?

I know what you mean. I can't believe that after so many versions of iPhoto that have supported publishing of some sort that such a basic and obvious feature still hasn't been implemented. It can't take that much effort to add. I'd rather have that than the new (and IMHO completely useless) "Events" feature. Speaking of which, does anyone know if there is a way to turn it off? It's annoying the heck outta me. I hate it.

How can I fit a web page to the screen?

How I can open a web page and have this fit on the screen on my mac. every program I open displays on the top the whole page but only half screen.

Hi z,
In the upper left hand corner of the window, click the green button. Or you can "grab" the bottom right corner of the window and drag it to whatever size you want.

How do i make a page fit a screen with no horizontal scroll

I would like to know how to make it so my page does not look
different depending on the size of the screen you are viewing it
on. In particular, avoiding how sometimes you have to scroll
horizontally to see the entire page.
I would prefer to get the look consistent but don't know how.
Please help.

Make sure that your horizontal widths are *not* specified in
pixels wider
than the smallest viewport you want to support for any
container or
contents.

How do I have a page fit the screen without having to zoom in every new tab?

Wen I open a new window/ tab, the page is in VERY small fonrt and centred in the middle of the page and I must zoom in to have it fit the page as it did before and should.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
You can use one of these extensions to adjust the default font size and page zoom on web pages:
* Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
* NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

Making the page fit the screen

When the page is finally uploaded onto the web how do I
ensure it fits all the various size screens that may see it.
I have created a nice site which looks perfect on my 17"
screen but on a friends much larger screen it looks small and on
one side of the screen.

Your page is a non-doctype, HTML shell around one big Flash
element -
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase','
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0','wi dth','1000','height','600','id','index','align','middle','src','index','quality','high','b gcolor','#ffffff','name','index','allowscriptaccess','sameDomain','pluginspage','http://ww w.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','index'
); //end AC code
Note that there are dimensions specified in the Flash markup
above. To make
the page flexible you would need to change that in the Flash.
This question
would be best posed on a Flash forum, as HTML cannot do what
you want.

How to delivering book pages to the screen one by one??

Hello.
I have written a lot on www, see http://www.europas-historie.net/ and there have been more than a million visitor, and there was very much work and no money to earn. Now I will try something new. I will translate texts which are in the public domain into Norwegian, Kafka, Mark Twain, Tolstoy, Maupassant etc. og publish some of them as ordinary books, and will make them available for download as pdf-files, for a fee.
I will give free access to a large part of these texts and books, but not let readers download all the texts. I will like to show them the way books.google.com gives readers access to books on the screen, or the way Amazon lets readers look inside books, or the way safaribooksonline.com do it. Which software do these sites use? It looks to me like there is a pdf file and a program which delivers pages from this file to the screen? Which programs/software is necessary to do this? Is it possible in Dreamweaver? How? Which software will let me do it most easely?

You are asking the wrong question(s). This has little or nothing to do with the frontend programming. Much more important is the backend and, since you obviously are not terribly rich, I'd say forget it. What you would need is the following:
- multiple databases managing the indices for authors, titles etc.
- databases for holding text and images for the books
- a dynamic PDF generating software or alternatively a huge storage holding all the PDFs ready to use
- databases holding the preview pages as HTML and images or alternatively a processing software that can extract and convert that data from the data to be used in the books
Only after that can you worry about the frontend, but it still means implementing a search engine and a way to navigate. Obviously there is some overlap and bits and pieces can be left out, but if you realyl want it the fancy way, you need a lot more than Dreamweaver. Even if mySQL, Ghostscript, Tex2PDF and other stuff are free, you need considerable juice on the server end and wil lspend a lot of time getting it to run/ keep it running. Therefore I do not see it ever coming into the daylight.
Instead consider a much, much simpler solution. Install a pre-configured content management system like Joomla, Typo3 or a blog software like WordPress. They all offer easy database management and allow managed uploads/ downloads as well as user management. You would hack the excerpts from the books in the database and the users can view them as normal HTML/PHP pages. If they decide to buy, they'd send you an automated message via a contact form and then you grant them access to the files on the server by setting up a user account and directory that gives them access to their book. Of course it's still quite a bit of manual intervention, but that's the only way I can see it working without financially ruining yourself.

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 enlarge web page to full screen

I want to make the screen size bigger from left to rught

If you are using Safari, drag the bottom right corner out as far as you like.
If you want the full screen feature you will need Glims.

It's free and has other great features as well.
Once it's installed you can access the settings from Safari / Preferences - Glims.
For full screen, from the menu bar click Safari / Full Screen
