[Anon]

Heres what I want to do

Get screen width in Header with javascript
Assign to variable that can be used in body

What I dont want

a javascript that gets screen size and sends it to a php file via 'index.php?width=width'

could i set a cookie with this info in the header then be able to read it in the body?

I think by the time your JavaScript runs, PHP code has ALREADY been parsed.

PHP is server-side vs. JS is client-side. Thus, it is too late to do what you want.

ok i finally found a work around for this. It took me forever to get the qoutes right.

If you want to put a pic on a web and have it as some % of the screen width. Say for like a banner. Use the code below inside of an echo.

with this, the document.write is surrounded by " marks. all other quotes inside of that are '

EXCEPT the marks around the screen_width variable when its used in the img line. Here you need to put the screen_width inside " marks then inside ' marks

<script language=\"JavaScript1.2\">
<!--\
screen_width = screen.width*.95;
screen_height = screen.height;
document.write(\"<center><img width='\"+screen_width+\"' src='http://www.website.com/photo.jpg'><\center>\");
// -->\
</script>

you can also put in the img tag : width="90%" and then even you even resizes with the window. No need for Javascript or PHP.
