dymaically calculating dix box cordinates

[jimberger]

Hi,

I have a div box that i have set up as postion:absolute and then some pixel cordinates to postion the dix box on the screen where i want it. However, this isnt resolution compatiable, as when i change the resoltuon of my screen the div box moves. is there any piece of javascrip that can work out the resolution of the screen and the adjust the coordinates accordingly, so the dix box appears in the same place regardless of the screen resulotion. or is they any other soltution you can think of?

thanks for your help
jim

Something like this?

function changeBox()
{
  var w = screen.width;
  var x = 0;
  switch (w)
  {
    case 1024: x = 256; break;
    case 800: x = 200; break;
    default: x = 100; break;
  }
  var elem = document.getElementById("box");
  elem.style.left = x;
}
