Using user screen widths in ASP

I'm trying to modify some web pages so that the table column widths can vary depending on the user's screen width, but can't seem to find how to do it.

I know in Javascript I can use Screen.width to obtain the browser width, but am baffled as to how to get ASP to be able to capture that so I can dynamically make the widths adjust based on this. Please advise, thanks.

This info is not sent to the server unless you do it manually, by using javascript or some such. I did it once by getting the info in javascript, putting the info in a form, then immediately submitting the form. This part was all in an if statement that executed only if no form info had been sent, so the rest of the page could be filled with exactly the stuff I needed. Here's my code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <html>

<head>

<title>test page</title>

<script language="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin

function rP(inH, inW, frm) {

   inH.value=screen.height;

   alert(screen.height+ " " + inH.value);

   inW.value=screen.width;

   frm.submit();

}

// END -->

</script>
 
</head>

<%

if request("height") = "" then %>

<body onload="rP(this.document.all.bob.height,

 this.document.all.bob.width,

 this.document.all.bob)">

<form name="bob" action="test2.asp" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="height">

<input type="hidden" name="width">

</form>
 
<%

else %>

<body>

Height=<%=request("height")%><br>

width=<%=request("width")%><br>

<%

end if %>

</body>

</html>
