Hi,
Can any body help me.
I want to reload the page when a user changes his screen resolution (800 x 600) to (1024 x 768) and vice versa.
This can be done using javascript. Does any one have a browser compatible code snippet of this functionality.
Pls reply if you have such.
Thanks,
Sumit Shah.

Seems odd that the Author didn't respond to the onresize solution, it fires each time the window / screen is resized; its a fairly simple solution to a fairly simple problem... In relation to browser compatibility, the onresize is core to most ( if not all ) browsers ( as far as I am aware )...
Thanks,

It seems a bit unlikely to me that a user will change his or her resolution during a visit on any site. Or ever for that matter. Why change it when it's ok?
You could use a timeout or interval to look at the screen.width (and screen.height) properties. Store them in a var onload, and use the stored values as a reference when checking in the timeout function. So yes, it's possible, but again, it seems a bit useless to me.
demo:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
screenWidth = screen.width;
setInterval('checkResoluti
}
function checkResolution() {
if(screenWidth != screen.width) {
alert('user changed resolution!');
screenWidth = screen.width;
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
