How do I preset my website dimensions in Dreamweaver?

I'm trying to set it up so that the homepage opens as 800 x 600. It's ok if the viewer can re-size the window after they open it but I want the initial size to open as 800 x 600. I've tried reading the Dreamweaver book and it tells me under ';setting page dimensions'; to click the pop-up menu in the status bar. When I open it, all the window sizes are there but are hidden (I can't select it). Even if I change that, am I just changing the window size that I'm currently viewing OR am I actually changing the website browser size? I think I'm confusing myself. Someone please help!How do I preset my website dimensions in Dreamweaver?
Unless you have control of the link that the site visitor is coming FROM, then you cannot specify the Window size this way... it's whatever the web browser happens to be.



The only way around this is to use stylesheets to set a ';fixed width'; for the main content of the page, and have margins on the left and/or right that shrink and grow as needed. For example...
