[evolt]Re: [thelist] possible to sense screen resolution?

what about people with an old browser but on a hires?
new browser but lowres?
and what about the overhead of maintaining two webpages?
what about output from server side scripts?

we have started putting buffer images on the right side (or east side) of
the screen.  A horiz scroll bar shows up with you are on lowres, but there
is no content that you are going to miss.

there are times i wish there could be a law...
