hi all,
I am sorry for the post first for it's a very popular question here.
However, I have seen thousand of post here but no one can tell me HOW
TO MAKE A HOMEPAGE RESOLUTION-INDEPENDENT. I have ever visited some
homepage which is resolution-independent but I don't know how the
author make it.

Resolution is irrelevant, its window size that counts.

Webpages automatically flow to fit the window... _unless_ the author does
something to stop it (usually by specifying a width for something in
pixels).

As David said: "Resolution is irrelevant, its window size that counts."

As a sample, see this page, and vary your browser window size, your font
size, and whatever else you care to change [even resolution].

Doesn't look good at all when viewed fullscreen, 1024x768,
Mozilla, and a text zoom of 1519% ;-)

Fundamentally it's not really difficult: just avoid fixing sizes as much
as possible. I cover the basics here:

You can probably go straight to
http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/webmat...esign.html#how

And if you want to also resize images in order to handle a wide range of
window widths, I have a little experiment here:
