Screen Resolution Detection
I was wondering if their was a way to detect screen resolutions so that if a
computer say had 800 X 600 or less one flash file would play but if they had
1024 x 728 a different flash file would play. Just a warning I don't know very
much code and am mainly just learning the whole website/flashewebsite design.
The site I made is for my youthgroup and you could view it
[L=here]http://www3.telus.net/lipke/[/L]. It's still in development. Thanks a
lot,

GraHam #2 Re: Screen Resolution Detection
you can try a little bit javascript like this:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function resolution() {
if (window.screen.height <605) top.location.assign('flashmoviesmall.swf);
else
top.location.assign(flashmoviebig.swf);
}
</script>

timspong #3 screen resolution detection
Hi,
I am trying to create a Dreamweaver web page that when viewed in a web browser
will alert the user if they do not have enough screen resolution for the size
of the html page. I have found some java script codes and inserted them but the
page still does not create an alert. Perhaps I am not inserting it in the
correct spot.
Any suggestions
Thanks!
Tim

And what do you expect the user to do then? Buy a bigger monitor?> I am trying to create a Dreamweaver web page that when viewed in a web browser

It's more likely that the user will leave your site immediately.
Such messages are useless and annoying, you shouldn't do that.
It would be much better to keep the layout more flexible, so that it
will accomodate for different browser window sizes automatically.

No. The alert will ask them to set their monitor to a higher resolution because the content is a demo and needs at least 1024 x 768.

monitor is set to let's say 800x600 then there will most likely be a
reason for that (maybe it's an older one and can't handle a higher
resolution at an acceptable refresh rate).
And what about recent machines, high resolutions, but small browser
windows? The user would still get a scrollbar. Screen resolution is
rather meaningless in Web context.
If it really has to be a fixed size of 1024 then go for it, but you
shouldn't annoy your visitors with useless messages. Or is there a
special reason for "educating" your visitors instead of just providing
the content and let them decice what to do with it?
My point is: I don't see any valid reason to use such scripts, so I
won't post any code or debug a posted script, sorry. If you still think
it's necessary, then someone else would have to do it.

If it has to be that large, then just let the visitor download a PDF.
Resizing like that is rude....

Yikes!
This and splash pages that open the site in a new window are probably the two
worst design practices in the known universe.
Nothing on the internet annoys me more than sites that purposely turn their
customers away because they have an 800x600 screen size.
