I wish to know how I can detect the users screen resolution. I want to display an ad on the side of the forum if the resolution is higher than 1024.

Example:

Dim strScreen
Dim strShow

strScreen = "user screen resolution"
If strScreen => "1024" Then strShow = True

Thank you,

You would need to use JavaScript to detect the screen resolution of the visitor:-

Is there a way to pass that information directly to ASP? The only way I figured out how to do that is have the Javascript set a cookie, and then on the next page load read the cookie to get the resolution.

You can pass JavaScript results to ASP server side page with some simple form like:

<html>

<body>

</form>

document.getElementById(scr_width'').value=document.body.clientWidth;

document.getElementById('scr_height').value=document.body.clientHeight;

document.getElementById('frm_scr').submit();

</script>

</body>

<html>

====================

be note that document.body.clientHeight/Width is available in IE 8+. There is other way to get screen dimensions with JavaScript, but the idea to pass that data to ASP is same. Hope that this help
