I have a to make web page containing 2 columns. This is done.
Now what I would like to insert in the code is something like this:
The 2 columns should be full screen on any resolutions. Something like the page would adapt to the monitor resolution.
The percent would be 80% for the first column 20% for the second one.

What I don't know - is how to do that. Would a table resolve this problem?
What would be the code for this?

Suggestion are well appreciated.

Hello Anniuapoi,

I have a to make web page containing 2 columns. This is done.
Everybody has a way (or, method) to get things done or accomplished and no way is wrong as long as the function and desired end-result is fulfilled. The method (when it comes to the coding of the page) is basically derived from one of two origins:
  • Program/Application Generated Code
  • Personally Written/Authored Code
Working/Manipulating Program/Application Generated Code can be a nightmare sometimes as the source code contains a great deal of the Program/Application specific injected code (got to know what your Program/Application is doing). Working/Manipulating Personally Written/Authored Code is usually a "walk in the park" as the source code is generally concise to get the end-result desired (Valid written W3C Code is straight forward).

In relation to what has been lightly touched upon so far... A viewing of source code(s) (HTML, CSS, etc...) for your page would be advantagous for everything concerned here as no one (besides you) knows what they are "I have a to make web page containing 2 columns. This is done." working with and speculation of "what is" can lead to wasted time and effort(s).
What I percieve you are describing appears to warrant the employ of HTML, Javascript, and CSS if you are not employing a strict HTML/CSS fluid design concept (many ways to produce a desired end-result design). A Table could be used to piece-work a page, but... it's employ could be a poor choice given more modern techniques - my opinion.

Here's a read for you Script To Load Different .css Depending On Screen Resolution.

Once again I mention... There are numerous ways to achieve your desired end-result. With all things internet "you are left to the mercy of the presenter of the information you skim, read, and/or peruse (just as it is here)". It takes time, energy, experimentation (losses and gains), and tenacity to further one's knowledge and understanding.

Briefly, Additional Familiarization Readings:

What would be the code for this?
Pretty much depends on "I have a to make web page containing 2 columns. This is done."... Post your code material(s) Anniuapoi and you'll most likely get a better reply than this.

Hope this helps you out.
