Hello BenO,

You've probably got all you need by now , but I remember asking this
question some time ago so I looked it up in my useful tips archive and found
it. Its been modified slightly to encompass browser changes and also window
resizing but here it is anyway:- (I can't remember who posted the original
script).

In the body tag I've used javascript to reload the webpage whenever the
browser window is resized in order to recalculate the new window size. (you
may NOT want to do this)


<html>
<head><title>Screen and Window Sizes</title>

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
<!--
function screenDetect () {
 var iw, ih; // Set inner width and height
 if (window.innerWidth == null) {
  iw = document.body.clientWidth;
  ih=document.body.clientHeight;
 }
 else {
  iw = window.innerWidth;
  ih = window.innerHeight;
 }
 document.write("SCREEN width="+screen.width+"<br>SCREEN
height="+screen.height+"<br>");
 document.write("WINDOW Width= "+iw+"<br>WINDOW Height= "+ih+"<br>");
}

// -->
</SCRIPT>

</head>
<body bgcolor="#d0d0d0" onResize="window.location.href =
window.location.href;">
<h1 align=center>Screen and Window Sizes</h1>


<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
<!--

 screenDetect();

// -->
</SCRIPT>


</body>
</html>

Hope it helps
Peter Newton
