yet when the webpage is viewed in say 800x 600 the website is not 100% of page you have to scroll across to make it fit   how comes???

... yet when the webpage is viewed in say 800x 600 the website is not 100% of page you have to scroll across to make it fit  how comes???

 

Because the sum of the widths of some 'stuff' exceeds 800px.  An 800px window really only takes about 770px of viewing area actually.

ahhh ok so does this mean some of my images need changing in size and also would it be worth messing wround with this ( do most population have 800px ??

Don't think of it as 'messing around'. Think of it as making your web site visitor-friendly.
