Webpage screwed up with different screen resolutions.

[Swindler]

Ok, I am making a small website for a friend of mine little brother, and I build the website in Dreamweaver CS3 on a 1280x800 resolution, and everyone looking alright in Firefox, but with other screen resolutions and in IE, it is screwed up.

I've searched on google for scripts and codes that is making the website look normal on every resolution but none of them seems to work.

Anyone here that knows something when it comes to HTML?

Btw, I'm fairly new when it comes to webdesigning. >_<

The background is at the left when it should be at the center.


The background is in no div tags though, could that be the problem?
Gonna look up to it tomorrow, but now Sleep time hurray.

When I made my website for tech class way back I remember putting the background in a huge centered div tag, always made it nice.

You could easily center the background.


I just hope you didn't "Design" a website, saved it as a picture, used it as a background. Then, use fixed position to put your text where you want it to be. Which would explain why they aren't properly positioned on different resolutions.

If I understood you right, no I didnt.
I draw div tags in DreamWeaver for the menu + the place where you write the information on, over the background

Here is the code for the background I used

Spoiler!

Code: Select all

<!--

body{
background-color:#ffdd9c;
background-image:url("bilder/test.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top center;
}

-->
