resolution

[otuatail]

I was looking at a website for downloading desktop images. It has a range of sizes depending on the resolution of the PC. It states the best resolution for me is 1024 x 768.  How does it know. I could do with this information to taylor my website.

<?

if(isset($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["users_resolution"]))

  $screen_resolution = $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["users_resolution"];

else //means cookie is not found set it using Javascript

{

?>

<script language="javascript">

<!--

writeCookie();

 

function writeCookie()

{

var today = new Date();

var the_date = new Date("December 31, 2010");

var the_cookie_date = the_date.toGMTString();

var the_cookie = "users_resolution="+ screen.width +"x"+ screen.height;

var the_cookie = the_cookie + ";expires=" + the_cookie_date;

document.cookie=the_cookie

 

location = 'show-user-screen-resolution-php.php.php';

}

What is the website? What is your current resolution set at? 1024 x 768? Did you try changing your resolution to see if the "recommended" size changed? They might just have that hard coded because they just assume that 1024 x 768 is the "norm".
