| I need to know if there is a way to detect what screen resolution the person is running while viewing my site? If anyone can direct me to any info about how to do this it would be much appreciated. |

| Yes this would work for me but is there a way to do it in asp.net? The javascript will work and I can redirect from there but it would be nice to just be able to manipulate stuff inside a single aspx page instead of having 2 seperate ones. I supposed I could pass a parameter through the url to a single .net page... |

| How about... don't design pages that are dependent on specific resolutions. You will only piss people off.Damian |

| I agree with Damian. I use percentages on most of my tables, so that no matter what crazy resolution they are on, it will size to fit.Lots of times, I have a fixed size navigation bar, and then a percentage on the rest of the content.Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.</Yoda> |

| I don't make the decisions about page design/layout so I basically have to do what I'm told. I usually use percentages on tables so they can resize but the page isnt set up that way and I can't change it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated... |

I agree. A bad decision is a bad decision whether the top dog at the company makes it or just some flunky, or anyone in between. If they choose not to listen to you, then you should "experience" great difficulty in finding a way to do the dumb thing they ask you to do. Sooner or later they'll stop asking. |

Until you get pegged as being the "difficult one". If we work off the assumption that management making a sound decision is a crap shoot at best the majority of your time will be spent creatively stymieing the project. In an ideal world your correctness would eventually be realized and appreciated but in the real world you'll probably just get sh!t-canned.  Ok, for anybody other than me that needs to take a break from being a soulless corporate drone. [url]http://www.msu.edu/~couilla3/ninja/ninja2.htm[/url] Webninja, are you part of this group?
