Hey all,
So, I'm attempting my first web site coded in HTML (and not using a
web page editor thingy), and have encountered my first of what I
expect to be many, many problems :-) I have my background image, and
other images on the page, and I'm wondering if there is any way for
the computer to detect the user's browser setting and adjust my page
contents to fit their window. As in, if a user sees my site in a
screen resolution of 800x600, the whole page fits that window with
needing to implement scroll bars, and if someone else views the page
in 1024x768, they see the page without needing scroll bars. Is there
any way to do this without having to create 2 or 3 completely
different sites for the specific screen resoultion? Did any of the
above make sense? :-) If I should be looking for a javascript, where
can I find it? Or if it would be better off as a flash site, how the
hell do I do that?!?! :-) I'm new to this world of coding, whether it
be simplistic HTML or something far more sinister. Help would be very
much appreciated.
Thanks!!!!

Your statement doesn't make sense to me. Maybe you're confusing a markup
language with an application.

Yes... just let HTML and browsers' renditions of it do what comes
naturally, instead of trying to force a particular size on it. No need
to "detect the user's browser setting"... text will re-wrap to the
window width by default if you don't do something that prevents this.

html does this by default as long as you don't do anything dumb to stop it
doing so

JS noob. I've seen plenty of browser detection scripts but they all seem to
be slightly different and don't really fit my needs. I have various places
where if the browser is IE I'd like to display else
. For example, if a browser is IE I want to use this CSS file
otherwise use a different one and if it's IE make this cell x pixels high
else make it y pixels high. I'm sure this is easy, please excuse my
stupidity.

How do you get the height of the client browser in IE? Both
document.body.clientHeight and document.body.offsetHeight return the
height of the document. If the page is long and there's a vertical
scrollbar, you get the height of the entire document, screwing up any
chance of centering a window in the browser using these values.
Is there a way to get the height of the actual browser window and not
the entire page height?
Thanks.
