i want to desgin a webpage in microsoft expression web in such a way that when it loads it will not fit into the user's screen. it should retain its original width and height. basically, i want to give the width and height myself in pixels and limit the page to that.
i know how to do that for tables, but how do you do it for an entire page.
i have a wide screen 21 inch monitor, when i open any website like yahoo, facebook etc it always opens up in its standard size. how do i do that with my own website. it always expands into the screen!

Hi Harrycool,
you did mention limiting the width and height of the page.
'height' does work, but it will always set the page to that size, regardless of if you have enough page content to fill it or not.. which, on the 'height' part, will make the page look odd and somewhat blank.
try max-height in css.
eg: <div style="width:500px; max-height:500px"> content </div>
Hope this helps!
Rob =)
how can i align it in center. this is how it is coming out currently http://www.harrycool.com :(
i want it to come out in the center, nicely laid out like yahoo.com ! what page width are they using?
I am telling you, you don't want to walk the path of detecting a users screen width for numerous reasons.
There are a few ways to center a div and they work perfectly fine. I've been developing websites for over a decade and I can tell you these methods work fine.

Both will work. Personally I'm not a fan of absolute positioning (2nd site) but if it does what you want, by all means.
If you need any more assistance please let me know.

Put a div tag around your content and set it to a fixed width.
<html>
<body>
<div style="width:800px;">
your content here
</div>
</body>
</html>
