Detecting screen resolution...

[Elliot B.]

I have the following...

index.htm

index800.htm

index1024.htm

Obviously, when someone visits the website it shows index.htm which contains two buttons, 1024x768 or higher, and 800x600. How can I make it so the browser automatically detects the users resolution, and forwards the user to the correct page after x seconds?

I see what you are trying to do now.

Two points though:

1. LOTS of people (me included) do not like websites maximising their browser window if they have it set to a specific size so that they can use other applications simultaneously.

2. You can't worry about what size browser window people may or may not have on their screen as well as what resolution they are running. It's their problem if their screen is big enough to display the page but they reduce the window size of the browser.

Hope you see my point of view ;)

hahahahahahahaa oooohhh ROTFLMMFAOO!!!! :laugh:

that reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer does movie reviews.. LOL

Kramer: Press the number of the movie you wish to see... 1 for blah 2 for blah...

George: *presses*

Kramer: Did you press 1? ......... Did you press 2?

George: wtf..

Kramer: Why dont you TELL me the name of the movie you want to see

blaaaaahahahaahh still laughing........ thats genius

:ermm:... why, you say? cuz hes making a script that choses the resolution for the user, but IF IT FAILS to do so, then the user can do it manually for themselves??? wtf.. that right there defeats the purpose of the whole script.. just let people chose screen res themselves.. it aint so hard to do :whistle:

hahahahha i remember that one~ lol
