Dreamweaver help!!!
I am designing a web page in Dreamweaver for the first time and can't figure out how to make the page shrink or enlarge accordind to how big the browser window is. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Dreamweaver help!!!
Do you have a link to the non-functioning page and a page that correctly does what you want?

Re: Dreamweaver help!!!
This forum page does what I want. When you make the browser window smaller or larger, the page items remain visible. I haven't published the page I am working on but when I preview it, it leaves my page items cropped out of the browser window when the window is made smaller and adds extra background when enlarged. Thanks for the responses.

To help you we need to know how you are coding your pages so either post it or tell us
Are you using tables to hold your content?
Are you using css to control your layout?
If you post the code here make sure to put it in bbcode code tags.
If you don't know what that is look here

Re: Dreamweaver help!!!
sml, the trick is to not use defined widths of the containing elements, whether you're using tables or CSS for layout. "Block-level" elements such as paragraphs, divisions, headlines, and others naturally expand to fill the full width of whatever is holding them. If you don't specify a fixed width, the content will expand until it can no longer do so.
Look at it this way: you've sold as many paintings as Van Gogh—and you have both your ears.
Thanks, Dad.
