Like Joshua pointed out, there shouldn't be a need to get the client's screen resolution. If you feel you need it, it's a good indication there's something wrong with your design. If you're returning a vertical list, and you were thinking of breaking it into columns on wider screens, the same can be accomplished very simply with left floated divs. If the browser is narrow, they will stack up under each other, if it is wide they will float next to each other like columns. Simpler than a javascript, cleaner, and it will work without javascript enabled or if the browser fills only part of the screen. -Dan On 2/16/06, Jim Steil <jim at qlf.com> wrote: > > The only reason I want to determine the screen resolution is so that when > returning lists I can adjust my paging to fill pages more effectively.
