I am redesigning our school website around a template containing a centred table 800px wide. This appears fine on the laptop I am using for the design but when viewed on the school's wide screen monitors set to a higher resolution the content of the table is stretched horizontally. Is there any way around this problem

Thanks

In what way is the content stretched horizontally?

My experience with projectors is that they have lower resolution than the computer displays I'm used to. That causes fixed-width layouts to take up a larger portion of the display area, or to scroll if they're too wide.

The solution is to use a fluid layout, rather than a fixed-width layout. This also helps avoid having the right side of the page cut off when you print the page.
