I'm sorry but I really don't know where this post should go.

I was wondering if there is a way for the server to automatically detect a users screen resolution and automatically redirect the user to the appropriate site. I want to design my site for 800x600, 1024x768, and 1280x1240.

Or, is there some way I can design one version of the site that will be suitable for all three resolutions?

Thx

As to your first question.. there are scripts (I believe) that can determine resolution and redirect based on it.

But.. making a page that looks good in all is not hard, key are tables utilizing percentages in the width tag instead of fixed width.. these will then scale appropriate to the browser.

both of the above scale w/the browser... that help?
