I was just wandering if anyone knew if it is possible to force a web page to be a size e.g 800x600 in a browser. I'm not sure if this is possible but if anyone knows, it would be greatly appreciated.

I dont think thats possible. You can only really set a screen size, is on your own PC. Therefore a lot of people recommend a certain screen size to use on their page (ie. the page is best viewed at ...)
Is your boss away again? lol
You can open up a new window at the size you want, but as far as I know there's no way to change the display resolution.
which is a bloody good thing, because I run 3200 x 1200!
What you can do, if you want to force the page to be within a 800-pixel width, for example.. is to put the whole thing in a table with width 800.

Here's the one I use:
<SCRIPT language=javascript>
var win = null;
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll){
LeftPosition = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-w)/2 : 0;
TopPosition = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-h)/2 : 0;
settings =
'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',resizable'
win = window.open(mypage,myname,settings)
}
</SCRIPT>
That is the script. The link that you are using will look like this:
<B>
<a href="http://www.geocities.com/dons_fanzine/yr2001a.html" onclick="NewWindow(this.href,'fixture2001','640','480','yes');return false" style="font-size: 8pt">here</a></B></font>
This script also automatically centers the page that you open. Hope you like it.

Actually Robbo, try this one as well. It's in DHTML
Place this in the <head> tags

There u go.. I didnt know u could do it
How about just useing the table tag to set it to what ever you need!
<table width=800> (or whatever size!)
IF you set it to: <table width=100%> then that just fills up the page! IF you choose to set it by pixels, then it only use the amount that you set!
