Out of interest is there any way without makin 2 separate pages with 2 different links is there way that u can automatically detect the viewers screen resolution so that the page is viewed in that resolution because not everyone uses 800x600 and some sites are made for 1024x768 so it look kinda compressed with unnecessary scrollbars and so on is there any way?

I havent actually seen this done before but all would be alot easier if it could be done. I dont think its possible for someone to view a page and it automatically fits to their resolution but you may be able to add two buttons which both edit the settings screensize in propeties automatically (so that you dont have to redo every page in the next resolution) but yet again the desgn really would have to fit to both resolutions for the best layout.

Sorry...I guess this was no help at all really :cry: I will see what I can find out.

i actually design a site a long time ago that changed depending on the resolution of the viewer... of course there is more then 1 way to do it, but if you only want to use one page. use javascript ( screen.width & screen.height ) to detect the resolution. and you can use script (document.write) to insert table sizes, image sizes, whatever...

This forum actually does it haha. Change you resolution and then refresh the page you will see the title at the top get smaller. I had to that that to prevent the annoying scroll bar at the bottom. The only thing is that it requires javascript to do it. So what I did is if javascript is not enabled by the user the title just displays the smallest one by default. Anyway I will post how I did it shortly, or you can just view the source code on any of the forum pages to see how its done

Here is the code I use to determine what title images is used

Code: [ Select ]
<script language-"JavaScript">
<!--
if(screen.width >= 1024)
  document.write('<img src="templates/VereorSpiderMan/images/_logo.gif" width="690" height="78" border="0" alt="Ozzu Webmaster Forum">');
else
  document.write('<img src="templates/VereorSpiderMan/images/_logo2.gif" width="392" height="78" border="0" alt="Ozzu Webmaster Forum">');

//-->
</script>

<noscript>
<img src="templates/VereorSpiderMan/images/_logo2.gif" width="392" height="78" border="0" alt="Ozzu Webmaster Forum">
</noscript>
  1. <script language-"JavaScript">
  2. <!--
  3. if(screen.width >= 1024)
  4.   document.write('<img src="templates/VereorSpiderMan/images/_logo.gif" width="690" height="78" border="0" alt="Ozzu Webmaster Forum">');
  5. else
  6.   document.write('<img src="templates/VereorSpiderMan/images/_logo2.gif" width="392" height="78" border="0" alt="Ozzu Webmaster Forum">');
  8. //-->
  9. </script>
  11. <noscript>
  12. <img src="templates/VereorSpiderMan/images/_logo2.gif" width="392" height="78" border="0" alt="Ozzu Webmaster Forum">
  13. </noscript>
