Thread: Question re sizing webpages

I have created a website using BV but when published it seems to default to a 15 inch monitor size. How do I resise to say a 17 or 19 inch monitor view?

The inches of your monitor is irrelevant, It all has so to with screen resolution.
The screen resolution can be adjusted in the page properties. Please click the

I checked out the tutorial re-page properties and I did not see anything re- screen resolution only a box on page width and height. I inserted different values in the boxes but nothing happened ?

what size is it?

If you want your page to be bigger, change the width to a larger dimension and then work within that space. Keep in mind that this will not automatically resize the page, you'll have to move things around to fill the space.

Exercise caution, though, because making the page big enough that it fills your screen will make it more difficult to navigate for people with lower resolution settings. And keep in mind that it's not the size of the monitor, it's the screen resolution setting of each individual user. Change your resolution to 800X600 and you'll see a full screen that way, too.

You can use a popup window of that size. You can also set how many and which toolbars (if any) will appear in the popup window. Make a search on this forum with "popup" as search term
