Website layout - help sought.

Can anyone direct me to a resource where someone might learn how to design a web page which scales all of its content depending on the viewers resolution?

A friend has figured how to get his backround image to scale but links on his page (hotspots) etc end up "all over the place".

Many thanks in advance.

That's way above my level of knowledge, but have you tried web builders or designers forums? There must be loads out there.

This will be very advanced and will likely consume a lot of the viewer's PC resources. Javascript is likely the way forward. You could potentially code something like this in PHP (or language of choice) but it will be extremely complicated. Webmasterworld.com would be a place to start

Hope this helps

Standard CSS and/or tables doing variable spacing/resizing should work OK.. You just have to remember to vary the spacing using percentages at the same time as the images.. You could go even simpler with tables..

It'll only provide basic resizing and spacing but could be made to work..

You can do this with basic html and setting positions and perecentages.
Have a look on http://stackoverflow.com/

They often have people asking similar questions about designing webpages for resizable browsers.
