Holding the page size constant

I'm redoing my site from a frames style to a no frames
one. How can I keep the page content from changing it's
position when the view window changes? In frames there's
the "no resize" tag. Is the same feature available for a
non-frames page? The content is mostly tables and some
text.
 
You would use tables to do this, by putting your content into fixed tables.
If you set the table and cell sizes as absolute pixel widths, they won't
change in different browsers.

How do you do this with an existing page? Make a single table then
cut and paste the entire page into the table? What about themes,
etc.? I don't currently use any tables.

Best to start by creating a new page layout using tables, and if using
theme, keep in mind that themes use shared borders which are implemented as
tables, so you will have to structure your page layout to take that into
consideration when setting the pixel width for main content table. Then you
would do a Save As to create additional pages.

Thanks Thomas. Sounds like a lot of work just to keep people from
having to scroll across a page to read it. What determines the width
of the page as originally created? Does it have to do with the screen
resolution on the computer where created (which is 1280 X 1024)?

The content you place on the page.
