The status bar displays the Document windows current dimensions (in pixels). To design a page that looks its best at a specific size, you can adjust the Document window to any of the predetermined sizes, edit those predetermined sizes, or create new sizes.
NOTE |
|
In Windows, you can maximize a Document window so that it fills the entire document area of the integrated window. You cant resize a Document window when it is maximized. |
The window size shown reflects the inside dimensions of the browser window, without borders; the monitor size is listed in parentheses. For example, you would use the size "536 x 196 (640 x 480, Default)" if your visitors are likely to be using Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator in their default configurations on a 640 x 480 monitor.
TIP |
|
For less precise resizing, use your operating systems standard methods of resizing windows, such as dragging the lower-right corner of a window. |
To make the Document window adjust only to a specific width (leaving the height unchanged), select a height value and delete it.
To set the Width or Height only, simply leave one field empty.
For example, you might type SVGA or average PC next to the entry for an 800 x 600 pixel monitor, and 17-in. Mac next to the entry for an 832 x 624 pixel monitor. Most monitors can be adjusted to a variety of pixel dimensions.
