Talking User Resolution Prompt?

Would it be possible to detect if a user is viewing the site at say a certain screen resolution and if under it or over ( i dunno ) send them to a page that prompts them to change it?

of course the option to not show the screen again could be ticked so they dont get the message each time they visit

this would be real handy so as skinners could make layouts for set widths and be safe in the knowledge that the user has a prompt to fix in case theyere using a smaller res

You can find out the users screen size via JavaScript IIRC.

Yes, you can do that via JavaScript (screen.width, screen.height), but keep in mind that users might have disabled JavaScript.

Anyway, a website should never-ever be designed for one resolution only. It should work (almost) the same with all resolutions > 800x600.

If it does not: Bad Webdesign
