Web Page don't fill screen

Hello Some of my programs needs a higher setting for the monitor .I have it set to 1024 by 768 with this setting some of the web pages only fills 3/4 of the screen , with it set at 800 by 600 the web pages are full screen . Is there another setting I can use to make it fill the screen or is it some of the web settings? I have tried stretch and center to no avail.

um... i dont understand the question? IF your asking waht you can do to make all webpages on the internet fill the entire screen... You can. A webdesigner can make a website that will adjust to the reso of the user, but most of the time ppl just make websites to fit 800 x 600 because it seems to be the "norm." In that case the website will only fill up about 3/4 of the screen. If that was your question, there you go otherwise... lol i dunno

. . . andy's suggestion for using the F11 key should do the trick, and if you wish to have both a keyboard shortcut for that "Full Screen" option of IE, as well as an icon to select with a mouse, right-click on your IE toolbar, select "Customize" from the option box, and select "Full Screen" from the list in the box on the left - then click on Add. This will add the Full Screen icon to your IE toolbar, so you can also go Full Screen with a single mouse click.

The amount of space a web site uses is determined by the site itself. If the author of the site set the width of the page in a percentage of the window, it will fill that percentage no matter what the screen resolution of the monitor viewing it.

However, when they designate it to take up a set number of pixels, it won't use the same amount of physical space on the screen...it will use the number of pixels in the page's code.

Since higher resolutions put more pixels on the screen, each one is smaller, taking up less space and you end up with some web sites using only about 2/3 of the window.

Someday, maybe, web developers will get a clue and use percentage instead of pixels when building their pages.
