Firstly JavaScript != Java, they just share a name.

What you need to do is send a 'detect' page if you don't already know
the screensize. This will redirect to the original page passing the
screen size.

Create a file called screensize.php.
<?php
if ($_GET['screensize']) {
$_SESSION['screensize'] = $_GET['screensize'];
}

if (!$_SESSION['screensize']) { ?>
<html>
<head>
<script language=javasc ript>
window.location .href="<?=$PHP_ SELF?>?screensi ze=" +
screen.width + "x" + screen.height;
</script>
</head>
<body>
Checking screen size
</body>
</html>
<?php exit();
} ?>

Then just include('screen size.php'); at the top of your pages. All of
them will have $_SESSION['screensize'] set for you.

NOTE: the user may not have their browser full screen.

Don't reload the page, load a blank image,

<IMG SRC="blank.gif" NAME="imgscreen size">

<SCRIPT>
// do you stuff here
imgtime.src = "screensize.php ?w=" + varWidth + "&h=" + varHeight;
</SCRIPT>

then have screensize.php do something like this
<?php

// log your stuff here

header("Content-type: image/gif");
readfile("blank .gif");
?>

Consider using window.location .replace(url) instead, so that the back button
behaves more reasonably.

Hi Andy,

Assuming you only need to adjust the size of some html elements to the
screen size, you could do resizing entirely in javascript by something like:

<HTML><HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY onResize="scale Content()>
<script>
function scaleContent() {

getElement('ite mTableDiv').sty le.height=(wind ow.document.bod y.clientHeight)-179;
getElement('ite mTableDiv').sty le.width=(windo w.document.body .clientWidth)-130;
}

function getElement( elementId)
{
var element;

if (document.all) {
element = document.all[elementId];
}
else if (document.getEl ementById) {
element = document.getEle mentById(elemen tId);
}
else element = -1;

return element;
}
</script>

<div id=itemTableDiv style='height: 300px; width: 600px; overflow:
auto;' valign='top'>
<?php printItemTableP art() ?>
</div>
<script> scaleContent(); </script>
</BODY>
</HTML>

This resizes a DIV according to screen size minus (130, 179). You can
fill in different values to make it larger or smaller, or print the
proper values from php. It works in recent versions of both IE and
Mozilla, (not in Nescape 4.x). Of course you need to write the
printItemTableP art() function in php to produce the content of the div,
or just print it some other way from php.

This javascript will probably work on other types of html elements too,
as long as you give each one a different id, and as long as the scaling
is not making them too small for their own elements to fit in. Be aware
that the second script must be AFTER the definition of the elements that
are resized and after the functions that are called.
