Both "screen.width" and "screen.availWidth" work for me in several browsers (and obviously the height equivalents for the height).

Hope this helps,
Dan

Thanks BillyRay,

hey BillyRay, Do you know where I can get all the methods, properties, event handlers, etc. for javascript.

This is my trouble with javascript. I don't know what's available for me to use.

I use the JavaScript - The Definitive Guide by O'Reilly. ISBN: 0596000480 (4th Edition). I can't remember whether it is up to a 5th Edition of not. It is one of the most comprehensive references, and should give you what you need.

I think there was a thread running about on "Recommended JavaScript References" somewhere... thread216-740676 might help.

I often use Google and search for "javascript ...", where "..." is a description of what I am trying to do.

Hope this helps.

Pete.

I find MSDN (

http://msdn.microsoft.com)

has almost everything I need, and if I'm not online, the O'Reilly DHTML book is a great reference.

howdy again,

Just got back from a short vacation in tornado alley. Still in one piece.

MSDN, huh! I didn't realize JavaScript was included. I'll check it out.

Thanks
