No.

1. This is a FAQ. Search before you post.

2. There is no "java script".

3. You will need an acid for the resolution of your screen, a
JavaScript function does not provide such a feature (yet).
Try some diluted HCl for a start.

4. It is not possible to obtain the display resolution reliably.

5. The property some would suggest would not help you anyway,
because:

Display resolution != desktop size != browser window size
!= viewport size. [psf 3.7]

That script relies on Java! Not necessary at all. Javascript can do it all
by itslef:

var sw = window.screen.width;
var sh = window.screen.height;
var aw = window.screen.availWidth;
var ah = window.screen.availHeight;

The "available" space is less than the total space when the OS features a
taskbar, as in Windows for example, which is not set to 'auto-hide'. The
height of the taskbar can then be determined by noting the difference:

var taskbarheight = window.screen.height - window.screen.availHeight

When auto-hide is turned on, the reported available space will be the same
as the total, even when the bar is not actually hidden.

Don't try to make plays on words in a language which you do not know
well enough; it merely exposes the inadequacies of your "education".

Somehow I expected this. And somehow I knew it would be you.

Dictionaries are the one thing for which one should go not to Cambridge
but to Oxford.

But in this case Cambridge suffices. The normal meanings of
"resolution" do not include "solution" as used in chemistry.

Resolution is, in essence, a separation; solution is in essence an
incorporation.

Rather than using a dictionary written only in what is to you a foreign
language, you should use a suitable English-German dictionary; then you
should be able to understand the explanations. Not a large one; such
also give esoteric meanings unsuitable for ordinary use.

Resolution : Entschlossenheit, Beschluss, Entschluss
Solution : Losung, Auflosung; Erklarhullen

That it was meant so is merely your unfounded assumption that allows you to
start a flamewar once more.

Rather than depending what you call a suitable English-German dictionary for
what is or is not the correct translation for a word to what is to you a
foreign language, you should ask someone who speaks German as native
language. JFYI: The translations your dictionary provided are _not_
sufficient.
