Hi Phil,

You might be a little confused here - of course, I might be a little confused too?

The term 'Resolution' describes a monitor setting of the user's computer. It's not a browser setting and I don't think you can access that info. from JS or from the web browser.

You can get the current Resoultion through JS
Here is how to do it

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>var xy = navigator.appVersion;xz = xy.substring(0,4);document.write('<B> ',screen.width,' x ',screen.height,'</B>')</SCRIPT>

This will write it to the document.

Here is the same thing, but it notifies the client if the resolution does not match the anticipated design resolution.

<head>
</script>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
var winX = screen.width;
var winY = screen.height;

if (winX <= '640') {
newWindow = window.open('reswarning.htm', '', 'toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars="no",width=300,height=225');
}
</script>
</head>

In the reswarning.htm (pop-up window) file, you can also insert this piece of JavaScript code for additional enhancement.

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
var winX = screen.width;
var winY = screen.height;

document.write('Your screen resolution is ' + winX + ' x ' + winY + ', which is below the recommended size for this application. If possible, please reset your screen resolution to 800 x 600 or higher. Thank you!');
</script>

--Good Luck
