using html or java how can I tell what the viewers monitor is?

Question

When different people go to my website some have small monitors other have large. Some are set at 640X480 and others as high as 1280X1024.

Things don't display correctly. I would like to have a code that could display the correct page for the visitor.

I would simple make multiple pages and direct the viewer to the page that would display properly for them.

I need to some way to get that information from the visitor and then give them the option.

One page that does this is

That site uses php headers to do it.

Here's a javascript solution: http://www.pageresource.com/jscript/jscreen.htm

And heres a php&javascript solution:





if(isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["users_resolution"]))
$screen_res = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["users_resolution"];
else //means cookie is not found set it using Javascript
{
?>

}
?>


echo "Your Screen resolution is set at ". $screen_res;
?>
