Hi,
If you just want to switch between different user interfaces based on the
screen size, you only need a small javascript on your landing page like this
one that put a value like 1024X768 in a hidden form field:
document.getElementById('screenSizeField').value = screen.width + "X" +
screen.height;
I use this one in a login form to gated stats about screen sizes used.
ERXBrowser will extract info from the user agent but screen size is only
available to javascript.
You can use a similar technique to pass a get param in redirect for example.
