RE: design resolution question

Here is something simple I whipped up about a month ago:

<!--

function getWallpaper() {
if (screen.Width == 1024) {
         i = 0 }
if (screen.Width ==  800)  {
         i = 1 }
if (screen.Width == 640)  {
         i = 2 }

image = new Array(3);
image[0]  = "1024.jpg";
image[1]  = "800.jpg";
image[2]  = "640.jpg";

document.write('<STYLE type="text/css"> body { background: url(' + image[i] 
+ ') no-repeat fixed } </STYLE>');
   }
//** end hiding of JavaScript -->

Note the document.write could also be:
document.write('<IMG SRC="' + image[i] + '"');

Also the above script is all by itself in a file called TestScreenSize.js.

You would then put this in you HTML page:

These both go between the HEAD tags
<SCRIPT Language="JavaScript1.2" SRC="TestScreenSize.js"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT>  getWallpaper(); </SCRIPT>

Unless you are using the IMG version in which case the second <SCRIPT>
would go where you want the image to appear such as just after the
BODY tag if you are just using it as a splash screen.
