My Web forms display differently on different machine with the same
resolution. The pages are designed to fit in 800*600 res but on some
machines with 800*600 the form appears too big.
Are there any built in functions to adjust the form based on resolution?
Is there a way to detect the clients resolution?
1 last one, when using an image, how do I get the image to stay
proportionate when reduced?
Thanks,

What type of positioning are you using for your form elements?
Something like this:
<form runat="server" id="myForm>
<input type="text"><br />
<input type="submit">
</form>
will look the same no matter what size the browser is. I would start by
looking at how you are positioning your form elements (eg are they
positioned relative to the size of the browser?)
Cheers

you users are probably using different font sizes. unless you can control
the fonts and resolution of your users' machines (say thru sms), you should
not use grid layout or you have this problem.
if you want to use grid layout and con not control the font size and screen
resolution, then you need to write client code that adjusts the widths of
the controls and recalcs the offsets.
client code can detect the screen resolution and send it to the server, but
it can not directy know the font size. the best you can do is render some
know text, then send back to the server its actual rendered width and
height. you would do this on a sniffer page.

I suggest you get a book on HTML then
<input type="text">
is the HTML that creates a standard text input box on a browser. The <input
type="submit"> creates the standard grey button that is used to submit a
form.

Hello,
I just joined this group and saw the discussion "What do you think of
resizing 1em to 10px?" I am somewhat confused by what y'all think should be
used as a reference size.
I was surprised that someone actually suggested ems as a reference. Ems
are relative to a selected point size, the width in points of a capital M.
If no point size is given, what size does an em become? The browser
obviously must decide.

Hello Everyone,
I am updating the CSS for my site but want new and original page to appear
the same.
My original CSS permits small increments of zooming (ctrl/mouse wheel) so
that you get perhaps 3 usable levels of zoom. The increments are small and
it only has 4 zoom levels. Same thing with changing resolutions. When you
change from 1280x1024 to 800x600 the page looks acceptable after changing
the zoom a click or two.

What do you do when you've designed an app at 800x600 and you now want

I'm sometimes asked to squeeze in a new field or two in a form that has
most, if not all, screen real estate in use. I'll mention that the form
is top/bottom/left/right filled in. The person will be looking at the

Is there any good code out there that works in a similar fashion that will
