Is there anyway to convince you this is a very very bad idea? Leave the choice up to the user. Why? Sure, my screen resolution is 1024x768, but I never run the browser full screen (I'd bet 99% of people don't), so forcing me to view a page that only looks good at 1024x768 when my window size is closer to 800x600 just annoys me (I've seen a few sites like that; left immediatly even though they were good sites). If I have the choice, I'll pick the one I think is closest to my current window size. I've seen several sites that do this. Much better. Another reason not to do this is all the extra work in maintaining all the different versions of pages/images etc. Better to spend the time writing PHP code. :) - Darryl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Darryl Friesen, B.Sc., Programmer/Analyst Darryl.Friesen@usask.ca Education & Research Technology Services, http://gollum.usask.ca/ Department of Computing Services, University of Saskatchewan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes"
