Changing view size

[BboyKnockout]

Hey everyone! Im getting into Dreamweaver, and I use a bigger res, but want to build my website around 1024 x 768. I go to the bottom right to change the size, and the only thing i can click on is "edit sizes". I tred editing a size but still, i cant change the size. Thanks in advance!

You don't need to chance a size attribute anywhere. Just make a table, center it, and make the width 900px. That way people with 1024 can see it comfortably. Then you put everything inside that table.

cool thanks! whats a good height if i dont want them to have to scroll down at all? so it all fits on one screen.

just a bit less than 768. Since most browsers have tool bars try 568.

Something to keep in mind that, while laxman's suggestion will work on most computers, it won't work on all of them. I've known people to have five or six toolbars, while others have one or none...so if you set an absolute height then it won't ever be perfect for everyone. Just keep that in mind.

especially web developers. I use the Firefox web developer tool bar along with the links tool bar along with tabbing. That is 5 tool bars with the Navigation tool bar.
