Hi guys,
I have been on computer too long and have now forgotten the basics!!!
A friend of mine would like a site designed, they have screen resolution I think 1280 by 800 or higher?
Usually I would design the site to fit all screen resolutions that may look at the site however my friend is not happy with the way this displays on their screen (too much blank space surrounding).
Should I design the site to fit 1280 by 800?
Or please could someone help me out with the best script to use. I'm guessing percentages would be best but could you give me the code for that and then what size I should design the site too! I may need to some flash files would this effect the % layout?
Thank you for your help

If you want it to stay as a 1280 x 800 resolution, insert that into your CSS body tag:

body {height:800px; width:1280px;}
