Webpage Pixels XxY

Hello. I was wondering, if you had a website, and you had a picture for the homepage, would the picture "re-size" itself. For example, if the homepage picture was 1000x700 pixels, yet someone had an alot bigger monitor, would the picture be small? Thankyou.

 

yea it would re-size itself according to the browser the other person is using, like google chrome automatically zooms in so that the page fits the whole screen

 

Ok, thanks

 

If you define an absolute size withing your style sheet or within the image itself the size will never change.
If someone was viewing it on a higher res monitor it would appear smaller yet sharper because they have more pixels on their screen than does someone with an old crt.

Generally if you make a website you would want to make a div that floats in the middle and isn't the full size of your monitor. Doing this allows people viewing on multiple resolutions to view it. I usually make a div with the width 975 pixels and the height auto (defined in the css) and that works for everyone.

What you have would show white on the sides of peoples monitors where the image wasn't. The higher the resolution, the more white space.
It's also a bad idea to use an image that big.

If you didn't understand any of that/want more help just let me know. I've got a good amount of web design experience and I'd be happy to help.

 

So basically, you have to make it "adaptable" so that it fits any screen by making the width x annd the hight automatically. Thankyou.

 

I think a browser will do that for you, I know Firefox will adapt the webpage.

 

Hmm, so does Chrome I've heard. Thankyou

 

There are programs that will test your website with any browser btw and make screenshots of it so you can see the result.

Might come in handy, google for it if you need it :]

 

Ok, thankyou Seems like a handy thing to have
