Re: question about page dimensions

Hi Maria,

I have a suggestion.

Use HTML.

See, the language is designed to dynamically resize the content to fit the
viewers screen automatically if it is done correctly.

You can not get there using what is posted at
http://www.exceptionalchildnetwork.com/

strip the code and save the content.

Please do not take what I'm saying as harsh Maria, it's not intended as a slam
- just honest and experienced in EXACTLY what you are trying to accomplish.

Here, this will help a lot I hope:

The Accessible Web Authoring Resources and Education (AWARE) 
Center, located at http://www.awarecenter.org/, is a resource 
for web designers and others seeking information how to make 
their pages accessible for all audiences, including people 
with disabilities.

You can talk to the main man: Kynn Bartlett, AWARE Center Director,
aware(at)hwg.org. But please don't tell him I stole his text and pasted it
someplace else unaltered :-). Just kidding. Kynn is a fine guy, and a BIG wig
in the HWG.

HTH,
Fuzzy.
