Please forgive my n00bness.
Here's the story. Our lab webpage (where I work/study) needs to be updated because it's bad...not Geocities pink background and flashing .gif bad...but pretty bad nonetheless. I think it's like 8 years old, seriously. Anyway, for some strange reason, my boss thinks that I am the best candidate for this makeover job.
Thing is,I know very little about web design. That's ok, because my site only needs minimalist things like a research description, links to pages that are already out there, member bios/pictures which are already done, and a password protected members section for internal group calandars/databases/information. I can handle all that, and have already figured most of it out.
I even solved a great mystery yesterday by getting my firefox page to look the same on IE (I think).
Thing that I can't figure out how to do is get it the same for all screen resolutions. Is this even possible? What are the tricks to doing this? I've tried playing with px and % and it'll make one look good and another get all shot to hell. What gives?
I'm using CSS, btw.
