I use following code to identify the screen resolution then redirect it to different pages accordingly.
***********************************************
<%@ language=VBScript %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<title>Hartsville</title>

<script language="JavaScript">
URL = "index800.asp";

if (window.screen.width >= 1280) {
URL = "index1280.asp";
}
else {
if (window.screen.width >= 1024) {
URL = "index1024.asp";
}
}
location.href = URL;
</script>
</head>

<body>



</body>
</html>
***********************************************

On page index800.asp, index1024.asp and index1280.asp, I have javascript code to resize the window based on screen resolution. Following is code for index800.asp

<script>
<!--
onload=init;

function init() {
HWND = window.open("default.asp?screen=800","",config="left=0,top=0,height=600,width=800");

window.opener = this;
this.close();
}
//-->
</script>

These code works fine on my own machine. But crashes browser on some testing machine, especially those with "Pop Up Blocker" installed.

Can anybody tell me if there is any other way I can reach the same goal.
Thanks!

Why don't you just skip the index(xxx) pagaes and go with this:
Code: 
<script>
<!--
window.location = "default.asp?screen="+screen.availWidth;
//-->
</script>

Hi Supra, based on your suggestion, on which step should I resize the window?
Thanks!

On your very first page. Replace this..
Code: 
<%@ language=VBScript %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
URL = "index800.asp";

if (window.screen.width >= 1280) {
  URL = "index1280.asp";
}
 else {
    if (window.screen.width >= 1024) {
      URL = "index1024.asp";
    }
}
location.href = URL;
</script>
..with the code I gave above. That way you don't have to deal with window.opener = this. Some browsers don't support that. I have a site that uses it, and popup blockers will filter it out and screw up your site.

Hi Supra,

Just test your suggestion. The browser can resize based on screen resolution. But, looks like you by passed the another issue here. If I don't use a winder.opener, how can I apply code below so I can take the status bar out?
config="resizable,menubar,left=0,top=0,height=600,width=800"
