You will need to have a listener page grab the screen properties via JS,
then send those to a CF page, then go to the index page as if they were
entering the site.
You can also base this on session state - so that if this is the users first
request for a particular session.
EXAMPLE (in you "application.cfm" or index page):
<cfparam name="Session.Init" default=0>
<cfif Session.Init EQ 0>
...
<cfset Session.Init = 1>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
document.write('<form action="act/getScreenProp.cfm"
method="post">');
document.write('<input Type="Hidden"
Name="screen_height" Value="'+ screen.height +'">');
document.write('<input Type="Hidden"
Name="screen_width" Value="'+ screen.width +'">');
document.write('<input Type="Hidden"
Name="screen_colors" Value="'+ screen.colorDepth +' Bit">');
document.write('</form>');
document.forms[0].submit();
<script>
<cfabort>
</cfif>

opps forget the first half:
can you use:
<script>
document.write('<input
Type="Hidden"
Name="screen_height" Value="'+ screen.height +'">');
document.write('<input
Type="Hidden"
Name="screen_width" Value="'+ screen.width +'">');
document.write('<input
Type="Hidden"
Name="screen_colors" Value="'+ screen.colorDepth +' Bit">');

You will have to have one form page that they come to and have JS write
the
values in a hidden form field, then have that submit to an action page,
after which you will have the values to use in CF. Of course, you can't
capture this in all browsers.

I have very little javascript experience and what I am trying to
accomplish is to use javascript to give me the height, width and color
depth of a user's browser and turn those javascript variables into a CF
variable so I can use them in a cf template. I was wondering if anybody
had any code snippets for something like this, and if so would you mine
sharing.
Thanks in advance,
Jason Larson
