How can I make my website automatically fit into the browser?

[John777]

Hello, using HTML, or JavaScript is there a way to make my website fit into my browser? I am frustrated with this, I even tried %'s but it just squishes everything up when the browser gets minimized, anyway thanks so much, I hope you help! .

There are basically three ways to design a web site, fixed width, fluid, and elastic. Take a look at this screencast and get a better understanding on how they operate, along with the advantages and disadvantages of each one.

That's CSS, I put in the code and it showed some plain text, and yes it fits into the browser, but only the text not the whole webpage, any other suggestions? thanks a bunch!

Decide whether your pages are to be fixed, fluid, or elastic and then build the entire page to work that way.

Soo, I should redesign my whole page into everything CSS so the code can properly work?

When you design a web site, or even a single web page there are three basic tools that you use. The last one is optional.

HTML - Used to create the content - what's on the page
CSS - Used to create the style - how does everything look and the layout

HTML and CSS are totally independent of each other. One does not require the other one. However, writing a bunch of CSS without any HTML to apply it to doesn't get you anything except a nicely styled blank page. Writing HTML without CSS get you content, but pretty ugly.

Javascript can be used to create behavior of the page - a subject to master once you have a firm grasp of HTML and CSS.
