[help] Default Window Size

First off I'd like to say that I'm new to these programs. So conider me a NOVICE.

Well I'm working on a site and just wanted to ask if there is a way to make the browser window change to a specific size. I'm using Dreamweaver and Flash. Or even better is it possible to lock the position of images in a html site using Dreamweaver. Cause my site will have lots of huge images and everytime I preview the page the images are all over the place. I then have to change the Window size to put the images were they belong. And I KNOW that no one would like to do that when they enter my site. It's just plain anoying. -_- Also if you know of a way to lock the images postion and or make the browser change it's size whenever people enter the site.

Thank You very much for helping me. :D

In Dreamweaver, open the properties dialog, and select an image height and width. Now the image will be constrained to that size. Is that what you mean?

I believe you can set the size of the window, but don't do it unless you created that window. If it is the main browser that the user will view this site, it is bad web design to change that. It's like forcing somebody to use Internet Explorer.

And for you images, why do you use tables? That's what I use to keep everything aligned.

Thanks but thats not what I meant.

I have the image the size I want it. I want it's position to stay locked no matter what's the size of the browser window. Cause currently if i RESIZE the browser window the images will move around. I would like to keep them locked so they can't move.

Here it is perfectly aligned.

But when I resize it the images go all over the place.

Is there a way to keep the images in the position of photo 1 and when I resize the browser window the scroll bar will increase, instead of having the images move to fit on the new size of the window.

Thanks. ;)

EDIT- I'll try the tables thing. Thanks Wizard.

If you're using a table to do that, add

nowrap

in the

and instead of spaces use
 

instead of a normal space.

I only see one mistake; thrd line "simply add more".

#150997

Thanks.

I'll fix that.

I meant " Simply admire"

Anyway.

I added the tables, tried to do what you said but the space is still there. Now I would like to remove the space so that the images all touch again. It's not you guys it's me. I'm freakn' slow. Any way as you can see from the pic below The original problem has been fixed. No matter how I resize the window the images stay in place. ( Thanks to Wizard for helping me. ;) ) newperfect.png

As you can see from the pic above the images are stiff. Which is good. But I would like them all to touch, like in the first pic I posted in the post above. If you can help then my source code is below. All I want is for some one to remove the spaces. Once you do that just repost the code. Thanks ;)

In the 

border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"

and the "nowrap" goes in the beginning

with a space. The reason why nothing got messed up was because an end tag for are not required, but they are encouraged. So it will look like this
<td nowrap><img src="../../unavailable.html" width="224" height="169"></td>

If someone know different, I believe does nothing. At least what I know of. But if there is a reason, by all means keep it in.
