    Hi, my site at the moment looks fine when viewed on a 15.4" screen, but when I see it on a 17" screen alot of the text is stretched and doesn't conform to the same columns that it should (I think my <div> tags were wrong, I want the columns to be 400px wide). I think I've fixed it now but as I'm back on my 15.4", I don't know if the changes have been made or not. Is there any way I can see what my site looks like on a larger screen?

    Or do you even know what I mean?

    Just for note, I'm wrapping my paragraphs like this; (shown without tags)

    div style="width:400px"

    paragraph

    /div

    That correct?

    Cheers

    Its not the size of the screen its the resolution.

    Your laptop screen is limited to certain resolutions it can display.

    Try www.browsershots.org and don't use inline styles! :)
