This seems to work:
HTML
HEAD
TITLE Screen/TITLE
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Javascript
function displayScreenProperties() {
with(document)  {
 write(Bheight: /B)
 writeln(B+(screen.height+BR))
 write(Bwidth: /B)
 writeln(B+(screen.width+BR))
 write(BcolorDepth: /B)
 writeln(B+(screen.colorDepth+BR))
}
}
displayScreenProperties()
/SCRIPT
/HEAD
BODY
/BODY
/HTML

I agree it's not purely on-topic, but determining what type(s) of
image(s) you need as your final product is important when using any
design software

This is not stictly on topic for this list but prepare a few different sized 
images and then,
if you are not familiar with getting screen and window property information,   
try loading this into your browser for getting screen properties - it should 
get you going - you might want to join a javascript list to help further:

HTML
HEAD
TITLE Screen/TITLE
SCRIPT LANGUAGE='Javascript
function displayScreenProperties() {
with(document)  {
 write(Bheight: /B)
 writeln(B(screen.height+BR)
 write(Bwidth: /B)
 writeln(B(screen.width+BR)
 write(BcolorDepth: /B)
 writeln(B(screen.colorDepth+BR)
}

[Gimp-user] photo resolution

Hello,
If I am producing images for the web, is 72 dpi still sufficient across all
possible monitors--a little lap top screen to a large screen HDTV?

Think in pixels. If you need to cater for full screen digital projection 
1024x768 pixels is pretty standard.

There ain't no simple answer to that.

A simple laptop screen starts at about 1024x768 pixels (dots)
so a 72DPI picture to cover that entirely would be about 14
inches by 11 inches. You don't want to cover that much in a
web page, because there will be some actual page surrounding
the image, plus web browser window frames etc.

My wife's 19-inch CRT is set to about 2000x1500 pixels, so the
answer for that is about double.

Anyone using even larger monitors will be more than accustomed
to stuff not fitting.

One possible/partial answer is to use some JavaScript to read
the window's dimensions  alter the width  height parameters
of the IMG tag to scale whatever you provide, so it fits.

To get really fancy, provide several different images  have
your JS select the closest fit  scale that.

DPI has nothing to do with screen resolution. On screen, most images are 
displayed pixel-for-pixel (unless the application is told to resize the 
image). Unless you specify the resize in HTML, most (if not all) 
browsers will display your image pixel-for-pixel. This is why talking 
about DPI when saving for the web is meaningless.

DPI *is* relevant when an image is scanned or printed. It is also 
sometimes relevant for fonts rendered by your computer. If you tell your 
system your DPI in regards to font size, it will change the font size to 
make it easier to view -- but there are 2 problems with that: the fonts 
might look fuzzy (reasonably easy to fix) and many programs will not 
display their content correctly because their programmers did not 
realize that the user might scale their fonts.


As far as saving for the web, as others mentioned you should think in 
pixels. Things to keep in mind:
* users with large screens might resize their browser windows to be much 
smaller
* users on dialup (there are still a lot of them) really hate large images
* some users might even turn off images while browsing (so please make 
good use of alt property)


Hope this helps

Though I am not sure but may be you can find a CSS attribute or
something for this task instead of employing JavaScript.
