html tutorial 3 - positioning and hyperlinks

[Motorcyclebabe11]

Okay so I have a problem when building my website I couldnt get it to upload on Chrome now that I did. It has that horizontal scroll bar on the bottom and I need to get rid of it. Any help on how to?

@Motorcyclebabe11 When you say upload do you mean load? and if the horizontal scrollbar is there, then the pages width is too big. Consider either trying to make it smaller, or making a page that changes with the size of the window.

@pivotofpower Well what is happening is I am loading it in IE and its fine then when I load it in Chrome it doesnt work so im trying to figure out if there is anything I can do to somehow make it so that it fits all browsers.

@Motorcyclebabe11 pm me, it'll be easier to discuss this with you there. Make sure to send me some more details too, like how you are designing your site (i.e. tables, CSS, etc.) and whether you are using fixed widths (i.e. 1000px) or percentage widths (i.e. 50%). That way I can help you a little more.

[Motorcyclebabe11]

@pivotofpower Well I am using CSS and I am using fixed widths.

[pivotofpower]

@Motorcyclebabe11 i would suggest using percentage widths and a min-width. say you wanted on section of the page to take up 25% of the width of the page, but wanted it to have a minimum width of 100 px. the css for that section would be "width: 25%; min-width: 100px;" percentage widths make it so that under most circumstances the content will always fit the screen without scrollbars

[Motorcyclebabe11]

@pivotofpower Would possibly using a fixed positioning in the browser work. Like making everything in a type of container and then using fixed so that it will fit or does it not work like that.
