De.scription and Message

I am trying to create a page that opens before entering the website.

Here's my results so far: http://www.aaquacks.com/quackpage.html

I'm a beginner at alot of this so I'm not sure how to fix my problem

I want to get the picture to fit exactly inside the screen with no scrolling.

Here's what I have so far:

<table>
<tr>
<a>
<img></a>
</td>
</table>


Can some help me with this or tell me if I'm approaching this wrong.

your missing your open "td" and close "tr"

if you add a height and width that most users will see, you should be fine. I would use 1024x768. Not many users under that anymore

[code]<table><tr><td><a href="http]

you probably should not make the entire page an single image as resizing on the fly is more difficult

Resize the image? Either genuinely resize it (i.e in photoshop/whatever) or resize it on the fly using HTML.

I think it'd be something like
<IMG>

Google is your friend.

Helter - that would still cause scrolling would it not? As the user's screen will be 1024x768 (agreed that most users don't use less tahn this these days), but at the img will be inside a browser window, which would be slightly smaller than 1024x768, scrolling would still happen.

I'd recommend 800x600 for a better result.

Me neither at first glance.

A bit poor really Mjr Pain (and I'm sure I know your name from somewhere - MPD or BYGames maybe??). It'd be better if they were different images as it'd surely reduce the filesize and overall loadtimes.

Although, again,most people are on broadband these days so it doesn't really matter I guess, but it's a little poor nonetheless.

I'm new on photoshop so I'm just playing around with it.
I created it for webpage size 1280x1024
Doesn't matter what you change the setting to in the .script, result is always the same.

Trying to have a page similiar to this: http://www.aaoicon.com/

All 1 page with no scrolling.

Right:

Make the yellow bit's all on one line

same for the green "click here to enter" - make it all on one line

...doing that MAY solve your problem.

it won't - the background is still to big

I could reduce the size, but when displayed on other resolution, it's either to small or to big.

If I create a smaller one, is there a way to get rid of the white around the edge.
Settings width and height maybe?
Or can the page be displayed on black background?

When I look at the ICON site, it looks like a smaller pic on black background.

Try playing with it and see.

Well I am getting closer - had to set bgcolor="black"

<table>
<tr>
<body>
<td>
<a><img></a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>


Now I need to figure out how to center the img on the page and have it stay centered for any resolution.

<td align="center" valign="middle"

This should work as well... and if they don't click within 5 seconds it will be redirecting automatically!
Also made the pure black a little liter to roughly match the image's black <img>
[code]  <html>     <head>         <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; url=http]

NOTE: Might have to change some urls.
