Question for Net Gurus My New Aviation Videos

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

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!

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

Keep an eye out for a package for Atlas.

Yup, on this important date in aviation history - I sent [the item] down to
Iowa City ....in a big brown truck.

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.

Don't do that. I was going to surprise you but......... The way it's set
up now you will need to change a few things. Each row of pictures is a table
and each picture is in another table. Change the first table element to add
width="xxx" where xxx is the MAX size wide you want it. Say 640 for people
that have tiny monitors 740 is the standard now days.

Unfortunately I can't tell you how to do the second thing because Front Page
has hidden it in a style sheet somewhere as part of a webbot. What you
basically need to do is change the width of the columns in the middle and
left side to 25% and the right most column to 100%. that will make it
dynamic mostly. I'll send you a better way soon.

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.

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.
