Ron,

Just seen such detection on this site:
<http://www.ciel.lu/>

Basically, the script gets user available browser window size and upon
this action builds appropriate content (table).

There is also a "noscript" for visitors without javascript which offers
minimal navigation means.

If you go deeper in this site at:
<http://www.ciel.lu/contenu/framebien.htm>
you would see further application with frames this time, particularly
navigation frame at:
<http://www.ciel.lu/contenu/navi.htm>

Not much more advice except that, following this path, you'll absolutely
have to leave doors open for those with "less features".

hih,

JJS.
