You have to remember one BIG thing first:
_javascript_ = Client Side
ColdFusion = Server Side
So, understanding that, your JS has to "pass" the information back to
the server, this is usually done with some kind of push-page, so the
_javascript_ grabs the screen resolution, or browser settings, and then
passes them in the URL or in a form to the server, where CF uses them in
the creation of the page
One BIG warning about just using the screen resolution is that more and
more people have multiple screens now - for example, my "screen
resolution" is 2560x1024 (2 screens at 1280x1024)
Also, not everybody leaves their browsers maximized, so you'll have to
take the browser size compared to the screen size...
