It's reasonable if you are lazy. Go over your HTML code and replace=20 WIDTH=3D"750"=20 with WIDTH=3D"100%" You will have a page that looks the same in your browser, but will auto-size for other configurations. If you have nested tables, those will also need to be converted from fixed pixels to percentages as well. Most HTML on the Web is just plain sloppy. This is one of the reasons browsers have to be bulky--they need to=20 make allowances for crappy HTML.
