screen resolution

Hi All,

I would like to know whether it is possible to for css to automatically adjust the screen resolution to suit all?

Wayne

Sure ... by using the % unit for your widths

CSS can not and should not be able to resize the screen resolution. If you are referring to just uising the available space of the viewport then yes use percent.

Can't javascript do it?
windows.height or something...

Theoretically, yes. Practically not a very good idea. A lot of people don't have javascript and, if they do, resizing windows is disabled.

that's why i don't like client side scripting

Then don't use it unless absolutely necessary, and, if you do, always have a workaround for folks without.

damnn straight.
server side scripting all the way

JavaScript is a brilliant technology. I don't like it if it's used poorly and without thought, but I don't like CSS and HTML if they're used poorly and without thought. JavaScript enhances functionality, makes things easier for the user. It's essentially a usability tool though because people have abused it it has been frowned upon by web developers. But sites like flickr wouldn't be such rich applications if it weren't for JS, same goes for this forum. Turn off JS and see how much more difficult it is to 'Quick Reply', Italicise your text, use the search bar. There's nothing wrong with JS itself, it's the people who use it that is the problem.

That's a classic one.!!!

Is this quick reply thing ajax? cos i didn't reload the page

I think so, yeah. It does check to see if there are any new posts though before it adds your post and it even displays them if there are. Clever.

i might take a look at the vb source when i have time.

Alright guys ... let's get back on topic please!
