A simple question - I feel stupid posting it .. can anyone help me with proper language (I'm assuming it's HTML - may be Javascript?) for automatically loading an 'htm' page residing locally? Based upon screen resolution, I'd like to have certain pages automatically load without the need to "click on a link." I have the javascript code to determine screen resolution, but I'd like to automatically load the proper page associated with the screen resolution in use by the user.<br />
<br />
Thanks ...<br />

1. It's usually a lot easier to design one version of your site in a flowing style, so it works on any resolution.<br />
2. Your pages need to work with Javascript disabled if at all possible, so use this link code, which will work with JS disabled:<br />

I don't think that's quite what was meant; by using your code the link will do nothing for none- JavaScript browsers. Using AdamGundry's code will allow the JavaScript function to execute, and will allow the HTML href to execute if the JavaScript doesn't, so that it works for more people.<!--content-->This is where I show my ignorance but how many people use non javascript browsers.<br />
