Screen width, Height, & Color Depth
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 __ Your ad could be here.

RE: Screen width, Height, & Color Depth
you do realize that once the CF page has been thrown to the user, there is not way to get it back and then reprocess it. What exactly is your goal?

Re: Screen width, Height, & Color Depth
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.

RE: Screen width, Height, & Color Depth
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): ... 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> -- SCOTT VAN VLIET SENIOR ANALYST SBC SERVICES, INC Tel: 858.886.3878 Fax: 858.653.6763 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <<A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]</A>> -Original Message- From: Jason Larson [<A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]</A>] Sent: Monday, March 25, 2002 1:17 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Screen width, Height, & Color Depth I need to obtain this info when someone enters the site.
