Variables

[mhawkins19]

Quick question.

I am fighting with desiging a website that will stretch the top image
to accomodate for different screen resolutions.

What I would like to do is check the screen size and then based upon
that use one image or another for a td (table column) background.

I can read the screen size and stope my image name into a variable but
how do I read that variable later on in my html code? Is this possible?

Any insight would be appreciated.

So far I have...

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
if (screen.width == 800)
{topimg="002top_blue_r1_c1.gif"}
if (screen.width == 1024)
{topimg="02top_blue_r1_c1.gif"}
</SCRIPT>

You can stop right there because you will fail ultimately. What if my
monitor is set to 1024 wide but my browser is only 800 pixels wide?
