[QUOTE="djs, post: 632523, member: 49909"] As a web designer, with the advent of css you are taught that the optimum display width for a site is 800 pixels wide. Your site should be 20 pixels less to accomodate browser chrome. This is because many older laptops still run on 800 x 600 displays and you are required to view these without sidewards scrolling. Though some designers are now making their site wider to say 1024 pixels. When a site appears in the middle of the screen on larger displays it is because the designer has called auto for the right and left page margins. This is often referred to as the loo roll effect. Some sites are set to automatically expand to whatever size your screen is, as your browser dictates, the designer has called 100% in the width of the page settings. IE has a tendency to fowl up many web designs, infact there are several sites to explain why IE is so poor at rendering css websites. Tables disappear, text overlaps etc, all good fun.

Firefox, Safari and Opera all render css much better and have better support for it. Its all down to what the designer has called for in the page setup. [/QUOTE]
