167348 2003-08-13 04:38:00 I run Explorer V 6 and ME. Suddenly some pages only fill up two thirds of the screen horizontally. For example, PC World page's are fine, but while all the content of Xtra's pages are viewable, there is a blank column on the right side. Can anyone please help me out with this problem, which will be appreciated. Hawke (4331)
167349 2003-08-13 04:44:00 Some sites have their pages at a fixed width, so if your display resolution is greater than the width, you will get a blank display for the extra size. Other sites allow the page to resize to your display width. wuppo (41)
167350 2003-08-14 09:01:00 Hi Wuppo,
Thanks for tip. I only have display set at 1024 x 768 on a 19" screen, and this has not altered, so I cannot figure out what has suddenly altered? Any other suggesions please?

167351 2003-08-14 09:09:00 I don't think anythings altered as afar as Xtra's site goes - it has been constructed to fit an 800 pix width screen, for as long as I can remember, so in your case you will get the balance of display width showing as white. wuppo (41)
167352 2003-08-14 11:01:00 Like what GF said it your other post "The issue needs to be taken up with the web page owner, as to how they choose to code it."

As most web site designers ( I am one who does it too who) build websites so they fit on a 800 X 600 screen & ** Most ** people have 800 X 600 or smaller screens.

You have to live with it sorry

Hope that makes sense :)
