haku Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 There may be a javascript method, but the fact is that you shouldn't need to use one - if you design a site correctly it will display fine in different sized monitors. When you say 'cut up and coded', did you design something in photoshop and export it? Are you laying out your site in tables? These kind of things will cause you problems.

dannyb785 Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Good design guidelines is make your entire page's width set at 800(maybe 850 if you have to). Because there are still lots of people who have older computers and can't view pages with 1000px wide setups without side scrolling(in web design, side scrolling == bad). Even those with 1024x768 can view it easily and if people have those crazy big resolutions(1600 or higher) they are likely already used to most sites looking small. But making 2 pages for each resolution(even if you can do it) isn't a good idea. But if you absolutely have to, I'd say have a splash page(a HUGE web design no no) that says "What resolution are you?" and they click accordingly. And then have a "I dont know" link and go to the 800x600 layout since if someone doesnt know their resolution, they probably have an older computer(just my guess).

TheFilmGod Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 You may be able to use php? Like check the headers sent by the browser and check the appropriate resolution... Of course, this is just an idea, because I have never seen it implemented.
