?? There really is no such thing. You can make a website be "fluid" or
"stretchy" in terms of width, but there's really nothing to make it
"auto-height", per se. What are you trying to achieve? Show us a link.

You don't. Draw, regardless of version, is not a web editor (nor is
Photopaint, Illustrator, Photshop, Fireworks, PaintshopPro, Xara, Freehand,
etc, ad nauseum - in terms of graphics apps). It never has been. You can
certainly use Draw and Photopaint to create your images for use online (it's
what I've been using for about 14 years now), but not to really create a
website. For that, you want to a) learn HTML and CSS - you don't have to be
PhD level, just learn at least the basics so you know what does what (and
that's really not a "suggestion," it's an imperitive - most good web editing
apps require you to know what you're doing), b) get a dedicated web editor
to create your code. No one recommends a graphics editor (regardless of
Brand) to do duty as a web editor.

Height is irrelevant. The web is not a Print medium and you can't take
absolutes like this. Yes, you could specify a fixed width, but what is the
browser viewport size of your visitors? NOT the screen resolution, but the
width of what the browser window is. Just because I have a 1680x1050 (or
higher) screen resolution doesn't mean that I have my browser set to the
full size of the screen. You need to either make the site fluid so the
browser width does not become a concern or find the lowest common
denominator of your visitors and design a fixed width.

Honestly, if this is the first (or one of the first) sites you've ever done,
and if you don't have a dedicated web editing app, and if you are not
familiar with HTML and CSS, you will want to farm this out to someone else.
They will be able to get you a better looking and better-coded site faster
than you will be able to do so. If this was to be a personal site or a
"club"/hobby site, eh, it probably wouldn't make much difference. But if
this is for your business, you'll want something
professional-looking/working. (and no, I'm not soliciting myself for the job
:) my plate is full)
