I would like my web page to occupy the whole screen on which ever computer it opens up on, how do I do this? I know in dreamweaver it was the width 100% but what about coffeshop?

Just to clarify, are you using CC HTML Editor, the Visual Editor of the CC Shopping Cart Creator?

In the CC Editor you can set the width to 100% too, but it may look weird on small monitors.

Yup, in your css your definition #wrapper {width:960px; margin:0 auto} you could change the 960px to 100%.

Why full screen if you don't mind me asking?

Just remember that when you size things to 100%, it's fluid. Meaning Everyone will see things positioned differently depending on screen size and resolution. That's why I like full control of the width dimension in pixels.
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!

I use to fill the whole pages. I have a few sites out there that do so, but quickly learned when I purchased my large monitor, that things don't look so cool anymore.

I think that is the reason why most people stick with the 960 or 1024 width. But 1024 width can put a bottom scroll bar on some monitors because the width might be too large for the monitor.

I think 960 is pretty save and looks good.

Just what I have learned from experience.
