screen size is different than browser size.
meaning... my browser is set to about 800x600 viewable, but my monitor is set for 1024x768.
if you set the graph size to 1024 i'd have to scroll to see it. If you mess with my browser size, I'd have to kick you in the knees.
but the only way to do that is to know the size of the screen. you'd have to set a variable somewhere before getting to the graph and you'd need the help of javascript. CF doesn't know or care about your screen size.
you'd have to do something like this.
page1.cfm
<a href = "javascript: loadGraph();">View Graph</a>
the loadgraph() function would have to get the screen width and pass it in a url variable to the page containing the graph.
ask the JS forum how you'd create a function like that.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
