yes,
use a fixed table size, dont use autostretch tables
i.e table width set as e.g 750px (pixels) NOT 70% or 100% as this will stretch to whatever their resolution dictates.
dont understand the automatically bit, u werent very clear on it :/

You can also do this using a div tag and a css.
in the Css:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code> .content{
width: 500px;
height:400px;
}
</font id=code></pre id=code>
and in the page:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code> <div class="content"> blaaaa </div></font id=code></pre id=code>
in the Css:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code> .content{
width: 500px;
height:400px;
}
</font id=code></pre id=code>
and in the page:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code> <div class="content"> blaaaa </div></font id=code></pre id=code>

Like ultradev said...use fixed table sizes and develop the site for 800x600. It will stay the same size in higher resolutions.

Do you mean automatically size the actual window or the contents?
