Resolution issuse
Hi
I'm looking for a code that will check for the user's resolution and if it isn't, let say: 1024-768 then it will alert the user and tell him to change his resolution for a better view of the site.
Hope that you will help me...Danny Grubman @ http://www.our-network.net

Acually I do give them instructions about how to change the resolution...
I really just wanted to advice them to change it or the site can be a little bit messy (Tables you know...).
I think that most users use a large resolution this days.

Since I've started to build web sites, it always a problem for me to set tables so they wont change when someone with a low resolution comes to the site.

In this case, 'low' is relative.
At 45-50% of current web users, 800*600 is much closer to 'average' than you seem to appreciate.New Plastic Arts: Visual Communication | DesignateOnline

Don't get me wrong, I hear what you're saying and to a certain extent I agree.
I'm no fan of 800*600 users either.
Still, 45% is a large portion of an audience to potentially alienate by not offering them your site or at least some reasonable semblance of it.
Is there really no way you can build it so that scrollbars kick in at resolutions lower than 1024*768 resolutions rather than have the site collapse?New Plastic Arts: Visual Communication | DesignateOnline

It isn't really collapsing when someone with a lower resolution enters, but some tables in certein pages in the site shrink a little bit, so the text inside this tables goes to a different line and not like I planned it to do... So you see

Also, what makes you think that someone at 1024×768 will even have their browser window fullscreened? Although my resolution is 1280×1024 or 1152×864, my window size is usually somewhere around 800×600 anyway, since I usually have 5-10 windows (not all of them are browsers
) open on my desktop for various things. Some users will change their resolution and say "OK, now what? The site still doesn't look right" if their window isn't fullscreened, and they'll leave your site. Honestly, this is probably too much trouble for the small gain you get.
