Dreamweaver questions

[PandaBear]

I'm building my website in DreamWeaver and I have a question since I'm still learning.

1. When I make tables a certain width, will they stay fixed in the dimensions I specify when someone with a larger/smaller screen is viewing it?

Ex. I make the table width 900 px (wide) and someone with 1028 px (wide) views it...will the table stretch? On that same note, will it shrink when someone with 800 px views it?

Or will it always stay 900 px no matter what?

2. Another one is about page loading. I want the bar at the top to stay visible, as people navigate through the site. I heard Iframes aren't the best things to use. So what else can someone suggest, so that the buttons at the top stay visible while the content below it changes (without using iframes)?

I'm sure I'll have more questions...thanks in advance.

When you hard code a value in px, it always displays that size, no matter what

Coolio...thanks jPnyc

It's hard to know the answers to all my questions when I'm not really sure what the terms are or how to even look up what I want to do.

Now for question number 2, which might have already been answered in another post but oh well. Doesn't hurt to hear it again.

For question 2, you could use regular frames, but just like iframes, I don't encourage thier use. You can't bookmark a specific page when using frames, only the default frame.

Why do you need the buttons to always be visible?

I like the look...and I also think it's nice that the whole page doesn't have to reload everytime you click a link.

Frames would be the simplest most fuss free solution. Serverside includes would be another but much more of a pain in the long run.
