Is it possible with Antenna to make your web pages stretch & shrink to fit different size monitors? Like this. www.mowlemandco.co.uk/newsite/index.htmIf you view it in full screen mode then minimise it, it shrinks to fit . Also when I view it on my works monitor (which is massive) it stretches to fit . Thanx for any replies.Jim. ps. keep it simple.

Hi Jim, The web site example you mentioned uses a frameset to display two separate web pages together (the menu at the bottom of the screen is on a completely separate page). I used to like framesets because it was easy to keep global navigation visible on screen all the time, and pages loaded faster since the navigation only had to load once - not with each page. Despite the pros framesets have fallen out of favour with web designers due to a couple of key disadvantages: 1. Search engines don't like them. Many search engines can't follow pages linked to in a frameset - and since the frameset page itself contains very little interesting text (index.htm in your example - take a look at the source code) such pages are less likely to rank well, and the rest of the site may not get indexed at all. 2. If a search engine does index the rest of the site, it will likely rank the other pages higher than the frameset page (since the other pages contain the actual site content) and this leads to another problem - people arriving at the site via a search engine or via any link from another web site may well end up on this page: www.mowlemandco.co.uk/newsite/body.htmThe visitor has nowhere to go - no menus, no site navigation. There's more to it than this - but you get the general idea. Antenna does include a control which you can use to produce an effect similar to a frameset - the I-Frame control provides a window onto another web page. Antenna's I-Frames are designed so that they can be followed by search engines - but you don't have the 'auto-resizing' ability demonstrated in your example web site. Cheers, Stormdance

Thanx! I'll scrub that idea then. Back to the drawing board . Jim
