Why isn't it possible to 'scale' pages?
Posted: Mon Aug 21, 2006 8:15 am
WYSIWYG Web Builder is a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get HTML generator, this means that the page will take up the same amount of pixels no matter what screensize, browser, resolution or DPI settings.
In Web Builder you have total control over the layout, unlike traditional HTML editors.
But this means that all objects are positioned absolute using CSS (on a fixed position), so you will be able to overlap objects. Overlapping would not be possible if the output was traditional (relative) HTML, because then the position of an object is based on the objects around it, which makes it much harder to design pages.
Now if objects were stretchable then the layout would be completely 'scrambled', because there is no relation between objects.
Tip:
Design all your pages to be centered in the browser for 800x600, just like the big companies do (Microsoft, Apple, Google ...).
