Get a screen size without a component using ASP!!

Ive been looking for ways on how to do this for a long time. But ive never found a way to do it without a component! So i made a combo of asp and javascript to do it, heres how you do it:

First we make the javascript that gets the screen size and make a cookie:

Code:

Next we declare out asp variables and read the cookies with the screen size:

Code:

<%
'Declare variables
Dim strScreenWidth
Dim strScreenHeight

'Read the cookies with the width and height
strScreenWidth = Request.Cookies("ScreenWidth")
strScreenHeight = Request.Cookies("ScreenHeight")

'If not cookie was made then say the screen size is 800x600
If strScreenWidth = "" Then strScreenWidth = 800
If strScreenHeight = "" Then strScreenHeight = 600
%>

Now we can use strScreenWidth and strScreenHeight to display the users screen width and height:

Code:

<%
Response.Write("Your screen width is: " & strScreenWidth & "")
Response.Write("Your screen height is: " & strScreenHeight)
%>

Hope you have fun with this

Have you got a chance to take a look at this example, and question Chad?
Just wondering! :)

Yes, there was something similar to this in v1.3 but it was omitted in v2 for some reason. I have added it to the wishlist for v3 and until then it is here if someone wants to use it. Thanks!

Personally I don't like to depend on cookies. Today more and more people are blocking cookies as a default and mentain a short 'whitelist' of trusted sites.
Worst case your cookies might even end up on the blacklist of anti spyware software.
