Stripes down the side? What stripes?

He's talking about the dead space on either side of a web page, when the
page is (for instance) made to be viewed @ 1024W, and his browser window is
(for instance) 1920W. The "stripes" would be the wide bands on either side
of the page. It's not a mode of IE as much as it is a mode of the web page
itself. Clear as mud now?

I have set my browser to display Maximized with my resolution set to 1440 x
900, and there are no stripes down the side. That's why I asked.

Maybe he just needs to visit his Desktop Properties.

Not an issue with IE or any web browser. Go bitch to the web designer that
built the site since THEY decided to place a max size for the width of their
pages. After all, how the hell would YOU design a page for layout that had
infinite width?

I don't think you're understanding. It has nothing to do with desktop
properties. It is the design of any individual web page.
Go here: http://www.comcast.net/
or here: http://www.palottery.state.pa.us/

Maximize your browser window, and then look at the page content. It doesn't
fill the space. There are empty vertical spaces on either side of the page.
That is what he is talking about. These sites can be made to fill the
window by zooming, but are not designed to be viewed that way natively.
Some sites fill the window automatically, but others do not.

Okay, I get it. I don't want the Zoom to change, ever. Not ever. I prefer
the "strips" down the sides, and if I need to Zoom, then I will control it,
not my browser.

Webpage designers never know if you have a widescreen monitor, or a 4
monitor. You get what you get with the monitor you have.

There are ways to query that info.
But many website designers want a fixed layout that they can view and test,
not a dynamic layout that adapts to your screen (or window) size.
It is not a browser issue, it is a site (designer) issue.

In the bottom right corner is a zoom control. Change it to 200%. It is (as
you say) "a mode in Internet Explorer so you can you can have Internet in
widescreen not with stripes down the side".

Well, is it not?
