Question for Net Gurus My New Aviation Videos

I am shocked that it's *you* who eventually brought this up, that's
usually
my job g.

Well, I was finally able to duplicate the problem, after seeing it happen on
another machine "in person". I don't understand it, but -- if things go
the way they usually do with this HTML stuff -- fixing it will mean re-doing
the ENTIRE website, including all the photos, followed by upgrading my
operating system and browser software to the latest standards.

Keep an eye out for a package for Atlas.

Wow -- first Vlado's P-51 Mustang parts, now this?

There really *is* a Christmas! :-)

Can anyone tell me how to make the Rogue's Gallery page automatically
scale
to whatever screen resolution the user is running?

Your website generally has this problem. It's not just the gallery.

I haven't bothered to look at the source for your site, so I don't have any
specific suggestions. But you should look at the way you flow the pictures.
Where the whole page doesn't fit in the browser width, I can always find
some sequence of pictures that occupy the same line. Your problem is that
the page's source is requiring the pictures to exist on the same line, and
not allowing them to wrap to the next row. Thus, the page has an effective
"minimum width", below which scrolling horizontally will be required to see
the whole thing.

Fix those non-breaking rows of pictures, and my guess is that the problem
will go away.

I can do that for you Jay. $10 if you can guess what I do for a living.

For example, if someone has their screen set to 800 x 600 (rather than
1024
x 768) resolution, they have to "side-scroll" the "Rogue's Gallery" page.
This is NOT fun.

Yet other websites look okay no matter what your screen resolution is set
to. Somehow they "know" what your resolution is, and scale themselves
accordingly.

Thanks!

Do I win $10 -- or must I *pay* $10? ;-)

Can't be done. The window resolution isn't even available in CGI (the
screen resolution is, but not the window).

What most other websites are probably doing is *not* using layouts
with fixed sizes for things, and letting the browser figure it out for
itself. Or having a narrow fixed-width bar in the left margin and
letting the rest format as it likes.

See, for this "Standards" were invented. If you just encode a "standard"
*.mpg (As in Mpeg 1, see google for details) you make everybody happy.
Like People running Mac OS, Linux, Unix, BeOS and whatnot. Even People
running older Windows' will be able to watch that.

Unfortunately M$ makes it so damn hard to encode "standard" mpeg,
because they like to have their own "standard", as in: "It works if you
run run the latest windows".

Can't you upgrade to a newer version for free?

Newer version of what?

Cheers,
Jens

I was talking at George, and referring to Netscape.

That's the way I took it. I might do that eventually, Jay. I'm still getting
comfortable with the new computer. I loaded 4.79 'cause I have the CD for that.

I just ran these videos from home for the first time, and was surprised (to

a website called: www.jpg.com.

It appears on both:

What the heck is THAT, and how did that text end up on my video? (It's NOT
on the original videos.)

I didn't see that text when I ran them.
