web pages dont fit?

Question

when i open a web page i either cant see all of it even when maximised or it has a slide bar at the bottom but not on another pc on the same site

Answer 1

That is because of the computer screen resolution. That website was either build by a beginner or intended to be viewed by people with a high screen resolution.

Answer 2

Web designers often forget that there are two large internet viewing audiences when they create their web pages.



In the past the majority of web viewers used a viewing resolution of 800 x 600 for their browser window. However, today the majority of users now use higher resolutions like 1024 x 768 due to the fact more users are buying larger screen monitors. However, there are still lots of 800 x 600 viewers yet out there too.



Often a good web designer will center the web page so that both viewing audiences can see the web page without having to scroll. There are other methods to achieve this through the use of CSS and recognizing what browser each user is viewing the web page and providing the correct sized web page to them.



You can also change your own video display settings and try using a display of 1024 x 768 and while things might look smaller, you will be able to see the entire web page. In addition, you can invest in a wide screen monitor which will show you everything and it's very easy on the eyes too. I purchased a nice 19" Acer wide screen monitor for $150.00 and I love it.



Lastly, you can also try holding down your CTRL button while moving your mouse's scroll button and that will increase and decrease the font size of any web page. That might help you to better view different websites.

the thing about a bigger screen is that you'll be experiencing that alot. most web pages are designed for the typical 1024x768 or1280x1024 resolution, and they are perfect on those displays. A wider display will create those big blank areas on the side and its totally unavoidable. Only a few websites will have content that will adapt to whatever the user's screen width, eliminating the big blank spots. likewise for video, the screen is just way too big. For video if you have a CRT you can decrease the res, it will leave a better picture. with a LCD you'll be stuck wit ha blurry pixelated image either way- decrease display resolution or going full screen on videos.

Answer 4

The width of the site's design is wider than the width of your resolution on the first computer. Set it to the next resolution higher within your Control Panel, or see what the other PC is using.

Answer 5

Take your cursor to corner and drag out the window to size you want. Can also do same at edges with double arrowed cursor. Don't close normal way. Use file close if available or Control (Ctrl) and W. Next time, they should open correct size.

Answer 6

if your web pages don't fit maybe you should try right clicking go down to properties then go to settings and at the bottom is a scale go to that and then try out each one see what you can do !!!

Answer 7

This means thats your screen resolution is smaller then the author's point of view when he/she made it.
