[css-d] Displaying page in different resolutions

[Audano, Chris]

Is there a way to easily program a site to automatically determine the
users resolution?
 
This is primarily for our intranet.  We have about half of our users
still using a 800x600 resolution and the others 1024x768 or higher.  
 
I'm using a container for the content so those users with 1024 or higher
have a large blank border.  Here is a sample of our intranet
http://www.opnetks.org/Information_Technology/Index.cfm.
 
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The resolution is pretty useless to know, as you cannot expect all
users to run their browser full-screen and not windowed.

CSS cannot read any setting, you'd need to use JavaScript for that.

Cameron Moll has done a JS that assigns different CSS according to browser size:

Why? Make your layout liquid! Just get rid of the width on the
container and use some repeating background images instead of fixed
ones. Define some margins for the container and a min- and/or
max-width. For making this work in IE < 7.0 you can use expressions.

Al Sparber wrote a tutorial an a DW Extension for things like this:
