changing website resolution

[djhuk]

Is it possible to display a certain website depending on a person's screen resolution?

i.e.
If person's resolution = 640x480 go to this link
otherwise go to this link

yes! It's possible if you're using table with width="100%"

<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="20%"></td>
<td width="80%"></td>
</tr>
</table> 

This will make a table that take 100% of the screen users with 2 colums. First one will take 20% of the screen size and the other 80%.

You can also do this

<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="200"></td>
<td width=*></td>
</tr>
</table>
[/PHP]

First colums will take 200 pixels and the second, the rest of the screen.

You could also use javascript to detect resolutions. This works in Netscape 4 and higher, and IE5 and higher.

<script language="javascript">
<!--
if ((screen.width>=1024) && (screen.height>=768))
{
window.location="1024x768.html";
}
else
{
window.location="lowerresolution.html";
}
//-->
</script>

This will allow you to create high resolution designs without having to worry about scrolbars for people with 800x600 or lower.
