Resolution of screen {Scanned}

[Ed McNierney]

Carola -

You may prefer using screen.availWidth and screen.availHeight, which
give you the "available" height and width, exclusive of user interface
elements you may not be able to hide (the Windows toolbar at the bottom,
for example).

You will find quite a few quirks with these measurements, which may or
may not matter to you.  Older browsers can have trouble with them, newer
ones that aren't Netscape or IE may give you trouble, and
multiple-monitor systems may be confusing.  The simple route will work
95% of the time, but if you care about that other 5% (universities are
notorious for running ancient browsers) you should do some careful
testing.
