Q: Is it
posible to get the current users SCREEN-RESOLUTION (without using
Javascript!)..?
Since Zope is a server-side application, it is completely ignorant to
client settings. It can get only variables from the HTTP environment
settings. Since Javascript is a client side language, it can get
client-specific information.

Stephan

   You can't, and you don't need. Even if you get the resolution, you'd
have hard times generating HTML for that resolution: HTML is very bad
concerning strict screen positioninig. HTML is not "publishing".

I can imagine webpage which uses some Javascript to append information
about resolution to the request as some parameter. Then you could use
it, but it does not make too much sense. What if some people use your
page through caching proxy, which serves it to a few guys without
refetching it (yes, you can forbid caching). What if someone dynamically
changes resolution (as I do with Ctrl-Alt-+ working on my XWindows
Linux)? What if the client disables JavaScript?
