Re: FN-FORUM: JavaScript and Screen Size

date posted 5th August 2003 22:53

If you just want the layers to be fluid then just use percentages like
tables, otherwise if you want to actually change the x,y coordinates of the
layer after the page has loaded and when someone alters the screen size it's
a bit trickier.

I remember having similar problems myself when a user changes browser size
manually though I'm a bit pissed to remember what I did to fix it ;c)

At a glance I can't think of an easy solution but something along the lines
of javascript which reloads the page if the browser is re-sized like the NN4
fix with a bit of nice css should do the trick, sorry can't be more help but
I'm getting confused as it is ;c)
