The type should be lowercased: text/javascript
[color=blue]

> var s_width = screen.Width[/color]

These properties should be called lowercased also:

var s_height = screen.height
var s_width = screen.width

Why? The type is an HTML attribute, and hence is case insensitive.

That /particular/ attribute is case-insensitive. Most, but not all,
are (id and class being important ones).

If you're going to do this sort of thing you ought to use window size,
not screen size. The window is after all what you have to display in.
For a working example, you could have a look at a bit of playing around
I've done: http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/webmatters/resize.html
though there may well be better versions around.

In any case, make sure that a reader without Javascript gets some
reasonable version of the page.

You mean you copy-pasted the usual crap. Yes, indeed, you did.

Skip the language attribute, it is deprecated and not required as
long as you use the `type' attribute.

It's `screen.height' and `screen.width' (JavaScript is case-sensitive),
and it is still scriptkiddie crap since

Display resolution != desktop size != size of browser window != size
of browser viewport. [psf 3.7]

Drop the whole thing.

Yes, *not* doing it, because you do not need it with working markup anyway.
