Had a lot of help with my web page questions but still cant work it out. All the books i have suggest an elastic table is my best shot. But none of them tell me how to do it. I sure as hell cant work it out. The page i craeted is 768×512 as suggested.
nothing to special with the page so it shouldnt be a problem. Surly 1028×768 has long replaced 800×600 as the average browser res ! Thanks again

It works using nested tables. So, for example, you set up a master table at the size you want. Inside the master table you set up three tables.

Using your size as the example:

Master table 768×512
Table A 100×512
Table B 568×512
Table C 100xx512.

Next, you set table properties for the central table to a percentage, say 90%. Now, your central table will expand and contract to show 90% of whatever the screen size is, and where you have nothing in the outside tables (A & C) it will push them out of the way. The reason for the outside tables is to give the middle table somewhere to expand into.

Easy really. 🙂

Create a 1-cell 1-row table 10 x 10 pixels in size for instance and it will grow depending on the size of the pic you’re showing in it. I assume you use javascript to check for screen size?
