color depth

[Anon]

what would be the javascript code for the color depth?

256colors
16bit
24bit
32bit

i want to detect the users color depth and log it with php.

[Anon]

depth = screen.colorDepth ;

what are the values though.

eg

16
256

but what about 16, 24, 36bit

Just ran a simple test and...

16bit returned 16
32bit returned 32
256 returned 8

So I guess it returns the bit? so I guess 16 would return 2??? Not 100% up to date on my bits.

you can test the others yourself and just change your screen depth from your desktop settings:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"Javascript\">
<!--
alert(screen.colordepth);
//-->
</script>

i have looked every where it seems for info on color depth. all i seem to find is info on scanners and very technical info with lots of numbers. i need to write a five minute report but with the info i find i will not be able to do so. if u have any info u can share, i would be greatfull. i found a good article about cameras that can point out faces in a crowd. i thought this to be something usefull. thanks for any help u can give. karen stenzel
