when I first started to write my page, I had my settings at 1024 x 768.
I then saw the page on a 800 x 600 computer - wow - what a difference!!!
I then went back and redid my page at 800 x 600.
now when I look at the page at a higher resolution, I am not happy with it.
How can I set the users computer (or page) to match what I want it to make
the page look it's best???
Thank you!!!!

Hi Prophet,
Here's one solution. Try using the Screen object to see what the
user's current resolution is. Example:
window.screen.w idth and window.screen.h eight.
Pro:
You get what you want. i.e., you can make your page in different
resolutions and serve the correct the page depending on your user's
resolution.
Con:
If you have a big website, this can become a maintenance nightmare.

as I am fairly new to this I am not sure how to use this...do I put in a

Hi Prophet, as I am fairly new to this I am not sure how to use this...do I put in a value for the height or width?
You can do something like the following:
<script language = "javascript " type = "text/javascript">
<!--
var x = window.screen.w idth;
var y = window.screen.h eight;
if(x == 1024 && y == 768)
{
url = "page1.html "; //the url to the page for viewing in 1024x768
resolution
}
else if(x == 800 && y = 600)
{
url = "page2.html ; //the url to the page for viewing in 800x600
resolution
}
location.href = url; //redirect the user to the appropriate page
//-->
</script>
Don't forget to place the script in the <head> element. One more
thing, another con of this approach, the user can't effectively use the
'Back' button, because this script will keep taking them to the page
designated.

Bad idea, generally.
Pro:
You get what you want. i.e., you can make your page in different
resolutions and serve the correct the page depending on your user's
resolution.
But the user's resolution is completely irrelevant. It fails to
provide any information about how the page looks.
- it does not say how many pixels the page will have available.
It's the browser size, not the screen size, that is relevant
for that.
- It doesn't say how big the pixles are (my 14' laptop monitor
does 1440x1050 whereas the old 15' monitor next to it only
does 1024x768).
Con:
If you have a big website, this can become a maintenance nightmare.
Absolutely. And remember that there are screen sizes other than
800x600 and 1024x768. Many, in fact. And even more browser sizes.

You can do something like the following:
<script language = "javascript " type = "text/javascript">
<!--
Neither the language attribute nor the SGML comment serves any purpose.
var x = window.screen.w idth;
var y = window.screen.h eight;
You really only need to look at either the width or the height.
Screen dimensions are fairly well standardized. It will also be
easier to maintain if the main page is designed for the higher
resolution, and you only redirect for anything smaller. Using
location.redire ct() allows the Back button to function normally:
if (screen.width<1 024) {
location.replac e("smallerVersi on.html");
}
"web.dev" <we********@gma il.com> writes: You can do something like the following:
<script language = "javascript " type = "text/javascript">
You can safely drop the "language" attribute ...
<!--
and the HTML comment.
var x = window.screen.w idth;
var y = window.screen.h eight;
if(x == 1024 && y == 768)
.... else if(x == 800 && y = 600)
What if my screen is not one of those two? In fact, it is 1600x1200.
Other common widths are 1152, 1280 and 1440. Heights can differ too,
sometimes independently.
If this should be worth anything, it should be based on browser
type, and not have these "dead angles", where it can't see what
to do. Something like:
var bw = window.innerWid th
|| (document.compa tMode == "CSS1Compat " ?
document.docume ntElement: document.body). clientWidth
|| 800;
location.replac e((bw <= 800) ? "page1.html " : "page2.html ");
.... Don't forget to place the script in the <head> element. One more
thing, another con of this approach, the user can't effectively use the
'Back' button, because this script will keep taking them to the page
designated.
Use location.replac e then. It replaces the current page in the browser
history, so the redirection page is not there.

Hello all:
To deal with the problem of differing user screen resolutions, I've
explored: 1) making the pages in PHP, 2) having different pages on the
same page and selecting the proper one via JavaScript, and 3) using
fancy redirects and forced "back skip" redirects with cookies. Every
approach has some fatal flaw as far as I have been able to persue it.
My most recent idea is to make multiple style sheets (selectable via

After exhausting my search on the MS website, I can't find a straight answer.
I fin dit hard to believe that MS left our something so useful in ASP.NET as
screen resolution detection.
Problem:
I would like to detect, get values for, the screen resolution in px but in a
code behind. Is this possible?
There is a System.Windows.Forms.Screen class for the Windows client side,
why are there none for browser/ASP.NET client?

Hi,
I'm trying to get the screen resolution of the client and to realize a
treatment in code behind.
it seem to be hard.
I can get information about the resolution with this following sub, call in
Page_Load.I fix the text of The Control Label. But no treatment is possible.
If i try to keep out the text of this label in code behind, i have nothing.
The variable is empty.

screen resolution to a certain size when running my application and
then change it back when they exit my application.
For instance, if the users screen size is 800x600, I want the
resolution to change to 1260x780 when running my program and then
change back to 800x600 when exiting my program.
Thanks,
