how to check screen res. ?

[chorpe]

Hey all,

Is there a way I can test the screen resolution of the viewer's monitor on a splash page? So if a person is viewing at 800 x 600, when they click enter, they are taken to the low-res page and vice versa for 1024 x 768.

How would I set this up? I am thinking maybe javascript?

Thanks a head of time.

Ok I found a Javascript to detect your screen resolution but I don't believe you can use it to trigger a pop-up. But I'm totaly not a Javascript expert. So I will give you a link, hoping that it will help you further.

thanks for the link up.

i am not exactly lookin for a pop-up. prolly more an if... else statement depending on the users screen settings. i'll see what i can come up with with this, though.

I just wrote this Javascript code yesterday for a project I'm working on. Hope it helps.


function detectBrowser()
{
if ((screen.width>=1024) && (screen.height>=768))
window.location="highres.html";
else
window.location="lowres.html";
}
