Size of web pages with different resolution

hi all, it has been a while since i designed web pages, and i
feel that i have been left behind quite some bit. the question i
have is, i have a laptop that runs at 1280X800 resolution, and an
external monitor that runs at 1280.1024. i am trying to design a
web page for a friend. i have looked through some tutorials and
found out about the window size option in the bottom right hand
corner of the screen when using dreamweaver. i have set that screen
size to 1024x768, which at this stage is the highest i can use.
once i have finished creating the web page, i save it and hit f12
to view in ie. the picture however doesn't fit the window, either
on my larger monitor or on my smaller monitor. the question i ask
is, do i just maximize the window, so that i can design it on the
monitor with the larger resolution. if i do this will everyone look
at it the same? the reason i ask is, before i got the second
monitor, i designed the web page on the laptop screen, with a
smaller res, but when published on the internet, monitors with a
higher res had a lot of black space everywhere with the design in
the corner. if anyone can help me out, the address is

Using the Motorola Atrix w/ the laptop dock, when I open a web page with Firefox I have to hit "Ctl +" three times to make the page fill the screen. Is there any way to set up so pages open the right size?

I'm using the Motorola Atrix smart phone with the Laptop Dock. When I open a web page with Firefox I have to hit "Ctl +" three times to make the page fill the screen. Is there any way to set up the Firefox browser to open the web pages the right size in the first place?

The Firefox Page Zoom feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox.
Try the Default FullZoom Level extension:

PDF printing of web-pages WITH background?

How do I make it possible to have the background image/pattern/colour etc. of a web-page included when I "print" to PDF?
Whenever I print a web page with something in the background other than white it's missing in the PDF file. This happens in my daily-use browser (Seamonkey), but also in Safari. However, in iCab (http://www.icab.de/) the background is included in the PDF file, so at least it's possible in MacOS. I just can't find any settings for it.

Yes, this worked! Thanks!
Another neat trick I found is that you can save the different settings. Just go to the "presets" part of the print menu, then save the current setting. For example by naming it "PDF printing with background".
Then turn off the background colour/image/pattern and save it as a new preset (e.g. "Print (to paper)").
That way you don't need to waste lots of ink, but at the same time you'll get the complete web-page with background and all when you save it as a PDF file. Just remember to select the right preset before you "print".

Web pages are different after I publish-hyperlinks off, and more...

I created eight web pages with hyperlinks on photos and text. The photo hyperlinks work, but the text links do not.
Some of my formatting has changed after publishing. Most common example, I have a thin, white line above several photos. I've tried several ways to correct the problems, all to no avail.
After I publish to a folder, how do I find the file size of what will be published?
Thank you, in advance.

Some of my formatting has changed after publishing.
Most common example, I have a thin, white line above
several photos. I've tried several ways to correct
the problems, all to no avail.
The easiest way to get rid of this white line...click on the affected photo, open up the Inspector and click on the Ruler tab. Now increase the height of the photo by one or two pixels. This should work.
The other method is to select the affected photo, open up the Inspector to the Shapes tab and change the opacity of the photo to 99%. This should also work.
Basically, both methods work by forcing iWeb to re-render the image as PNG by changing the photo ever so slightly.
After I publish to a folder, how do I find the file
size of what will be published?
After you publish to a folder, just select the folder in the Finder and type "Apple-i" to get the size of the folder. Is this what you are after?

Layout with different resolutions

Hallo and good morning!
Once again I need some advice:
I have a program that is running on different machines with different resolutions.
Is it possible to avoid, that the layout is paning all around?
Best regards
Hilby
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Hilby,
No... that is currently a limitation of the layouts, where we try to adapt to each screen, but the objects and the layout may not fit into a different aspect ratio with a different number of pixels.
The aspect ratio is the most important, followed by the total resolution of the screen.
Some more information on aspect ratios is below.
In summary, DASYLab is unable to completely adapt the "Screen" layout for evey monitor size and resolution. If you want to have a fixed layout that does not completely occupy some monitors, then consider using a fixed size, like A4 or A3.
If you make something on a big monitor, 1600x1200 for example, and move it to a wide screen monitor,, 1600x900.
From my friends at Wikipedia
With computer displays, aspect ratios wider than 4:3 are also called widescreen. Widescreen computer displays were previously typically of 16:10 aspect ratio, now they are shifting to 16:9.
Until about 2003, most computer monitors had a 4:3 aspect ratio and some had 5:4. Between 2003 and 2006, monitors with 16:9 and mostly 16:10 (8:5) aspect ratios became commonly available

How can I print web pages with HP psc 2175 printer?

Hi,
I'm having difficulty printing web pages with my HP psc 2175 printer. The printer spits out many pages before the actual page I want printed and then at times it doesn't print all of the section desired.
In fact, when I copied one page the other day, saved it as a pdf file to my computer, opened the file and the document still would not print.
Anyone have any idea what could be happening?
Lee

I have a strange issue - I am also using HP Envy 100 410A and its prints fine from iPad2. But when I try to print from my Gen 1 iPad, it goes thru the motions (shows the printer, allows to select which pages to print, double sided print etc.) but the printing actually doesn't hapen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

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

Why in the world would Apple make the track pad LESS useful in OS Lion? I hate that I can't g back to the top of a web page with a singe swipe. And of course all the other gestures are totally reversed. IMHO, this was not an imporvement.

No one here works for Apple.
Go to System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom, and uncheck Scroll direction: Natural.

Adding keywords to a web page with Dreamweaver 8

Hi,
Does anyone of you know how to add keywords to a web page
with Dreamweaver 8? I want the link to the web page shows up when
people google the keywords. I pulled out the instructions from
ehow.com and followed the instructions by using the HTML Keywords
function in the Insert menu. I tested it on Google website by
entering the keywords but it did not work.
Any clues would be helpful.
Thanks,
Shirley

Let's put it this way - those sites I have that are highly
ranked do not
have any meta keywords on them. So - you do the math....

I cannot print from web pages with mozilla, can print from internet explorer and all other programs. I have a Cannon Imageclass MF8100.

I cannot print from any web pages with Mozilla as my browser. The printer gives me a blank page. I can print from internet explorer and all other programs. I have a
Cannon Imageclass MF8100 printer. I spoke to Cannon as I thought it was a Cannon issue and it is not.

I started setting up a web page with iWeb. Auto play box is checked, but music will not play when page is opened.

I started setting up a web page with IWeb.
Several proplems so far:
1) Auto Play box checked for music, but music does not start when page is opened.
2) Can't get Quicktime "start/stop" slide to start and finish a section within a long piece of music (classical for example). How does one work the slide bar to do this?

Yes the audio file plays on the iWeb page when I click the play button. I even made sure it played both without the “little boxes” that surround the icon (don’t know the technical name for those), and when I click the music icon without the little boxes.
I did note that the iTunes window that appears when I open the Inspector is not highlighted until I click the music icon and those little boxes appear. Then the Start/Stop, Auto Play, Loop, and Show Movie Controller are highlighted — and work properly.
One other thing. I see that the iWeb icon I am working from says “Domain copy.sites2.” Does that have a bearing on anything?
