What is the length of a webpage in pixels? Is there any fixed length (resized in different browsers) or must we design graphics in relative (percent%) lengths? Thanks in advance. Happy mylotting. :)

I don't think there is a fixed width, but each computer/monitor can set a resolution that changes the size of the pixel, so that more or less is displayed. It's best to display graphics and everything else (columns, tables, etc) in relative sizes to keep things in perspective.

I have no idea, sorry. I have never used Dreamweaver. Surely the help files will tell you?

The first answerer gave you the exact reply. However, the basic resolution is 640 x 480, but nowadays it seems obsolete. Many people have set their resolution to 800 x 600 minimum. So, if you can design anything around 750 pixels wide (leaving space for scroll bars and other buttons) that would fit in the screen.
