How much work is involved to change a website's coding so it isn't too big at 800x600?

A designer created a page for me that when viewed at 800x600 requires horizontal scrolling to see the whole thing. I hardly ever have to do this for any websites I go to when I'm running 800x600. How much work is needed for him to make it so that the page fills the window WITHOUT horizontal scrolling, whether a person is using 800x600 or higher resolution? By the way, the page was created in table format. (Yeah, I know DIV is better, but please regard this aspect. I just wanted to mention.) Thank you

P.S. I wanted to know this so I'm better prepared if he says, ';Oh, we have to do the ENTIRE page over now!!!'; Thank you.

There is nothing wrong using tabulated layouts (in fact, it is still the true compatible way to get a page to render properly and IDENTICALLY on ALL browsers, as %26lt;div%26gt;'s are rendered differently by every browser, but this is not the point).

Since it is developed as a tabulated layout, you should be able to set ALL widths of all tables and columns to %, and this should not take ';too long';.

However, care will have to be taken with all images, as a wider image will stretch the column beyond its ';argument'; size.

Since you say ';THE entire page';, I assume your site has only one page: it should really not take long.

Nevertheless, if you have more than one page, you will have to review each and every one of them...How much work is involved to change a website's coding so it isn't too big at 800x600?
I can't say for certain that it would be an easy fix without looking at the site in question.



That said, it's unlikely a great deal of work will be required to compress the layout horizontally, as tables and table components can be set to widths that are percentages of the available screen space.
A good CSS fix would solve everything.
