cf code is processed on the SERVER, BEFORE your page is presented to the user on screen, BEFORE your js code executes, BEFORE your cookie is set/changed. your onload event is too late to have its results picked up by cf from the cookie at this pageload - only on the next one. aside from that, i do not think the whole idea of serving a different content based on screen resolution is a sound one... it's like serving different content based on browser type and version... there are other, better, techniques for this. css, fluid layouts, ui enhancements, etc etc. i bet you your code (cfml and html) is anything but easily maintainable with all this trying to accommodate various screen resolutions. and how about the user's text size / zoom settings? i may be viewing your site on a 1024x768 screen/browser viewport size with my text set to display at super-mega-large size - try and cram all your extra content onto my 'increased real estate'! i will probably be seeing less than a user with a 640x480 screen... (i do not really do that, but my dad who is close to blind does use a HUGE zoom and a magnifier) didn;t mean for it to sound like a rant... sorry if it does...
