Narrow width web pages

[Kevin]

Many pages have been designed for lower resolutions than
your desktop size. If you are running at 1024x768, a page
designed for 640x480 (rare) or 800x600 will appear with a
large blank area on the right (if it's left aligned) that
contains nothing but the background color of the page.

There is no fix for this problem - it's not even a real
problem.

I was told that the reason many are purposely made this way is so you can
click a link of that same page and it will then display in the blank area to
the right of that same page. I also complained about this prior to being
given this explanation. Additionally, if the resolution is set lower to try
to fill out the page, many clickable links are then partially hidden. You
just can't seem to have both worlds!
