Im creating a website and woud like to have the main page to be in a sized window(1000x768) so that the graphic will adjust to each individual users resolution.

Is it possible to do this?(even if someone types in the url and the page opens in a resized window?)

if not whats a good way to do something similar?(so that the main page image doesn't become distorted)

I'm not sure I completely understand - Do you want to automatically resize the users browser to 1000x768 when they go to your site?

<body onLoad="resizeTo(1000,768)">

If you do this, you'll be committing one of the most henious usability crimes imaginable and I can guarantee you the net result will be 90% of people leaving your website immediately.

You could also use a pop up, but that is very close to be as irritating as the browser hi jacking.

So all you are doing is trying to avoid your images from becoming distorted?

I'm also not quite sure what you're asking about, but if you want to have different pages for each browser resolution that may come your way you could use this solution: http://www.themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2006/01/19/
