viewing in wide screen format???

Jagged · 11-05-2009, 07:17 PM

Is there some kind of script that allows your website to resize to different browsers....at different screen resolution settings?

I have an existing website for a client...with static images....that works great in IE, firefox & other browsers when you use a normal screen resolution setting, such as 800x600, 768x1024......but gets jacked up if viewed in wide screen format....

What could I do to cure this?

Thanks,
Ken

I'm not sure about software but I use Check Browser Compatibility, Cross Platform Browser Test - Browsershots for Browsers and it also tells you the screen size, operating system, browser and browser version.

Well, you could use percentages for widths.

Go to Google and search on "Fixed vs. Fluid vs. Elastic Layout: What's The Right One For You". The first link is from Smashing Magazine and is a pretty good treatment of the issues.

Hope that helps.

HTML Code:

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function(){
    var oImg = document.getElementById("oImg");
    var iW = parseInt(screen.width);
    if(iW>1279){ // assume 1280 is max
        oImg.src="1280.jpg";
    }else if(iW>1151){
        oImg.src="1152.jpg";
    }else if(iW>1023){
        oImg.src="1024.jpg";
    }else if(iW>959){
        oImg.src="960.jpg";
    }else{
        oImg.src="800.jpg";
    }
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<img id="oImg" src="" alt="image"/>

That should work.
