make site full screen width

hi,

what would i set the page to to make it full screen width just 100%, normally i have done sites with the centre layout like a4 page look but have been curious on how to make the site full screen like other sites?

many thanks

In CSS Sculptor under the 'Layout' tab under 'Page Structure', you would simply set the page width to 100%. Under the 'Box' tab, you could then set the column and content widths as you like - as % of full width, or set exact widths.

thanks for the help neilo. so if i set the box widths and the page width to 100% this will become full screen? even on a widescreen monitor?

is exact better to use?

thanks again for your help

Yes, setting page-width to 100% works for wide-screen too. Whether you use percentage or fixed widths for the other divs is up to you - it depends on what you want the page to look like.

For instance, a left-column is often used for a vertical sub-menu and perhaps some information or advertising boxes, so as these would most likely be fixed widths themselves, you would probably want that column to be a fixed width (not a percentage of the total).

You may want the header and footer to be 100% widths, but have the content area a fixed width and centred. The best thing would be to try various different layouts using CSS Sculptor just to see what you can do with it.

thanks for your help.will try this.
