Contain the page content in a div and set the width and height to 1024 by 768 pixels.

XML

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head>
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
    <style type="text/css">
.fixedSize
{
    width:1024px;
    height:768px;
    /* use the below to centre the div */
    margin-left:auto;
    margin-right:auto;
    /* set the background to red so we can see the div */
    background:#ff0000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="fixedSize">
<p>Fixed Size!</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

No probs, I've updated the solution with an example, centralized 1024x768 div.

Good solution of centralized; this is a subtle topic. My 5!

I tried this but face a trouble that when I set the width to 1024 the window came restored down. But when the page maximized the web page does not centered. Please kind to solve this!
