Use javascript for it, because detect the screen resolution available only on client side.

1. Detect the screen resolution (screen.width)
2. Calculate all width
3. Generate inline CSS. (document.write… )


aks_cron : Cron inside Textpattern | aks_article : extended article_custom tag
aks_cache : cache for TxP | aks_dragdrop : Drag&Drop categories (article, link, image, file)

Re: using txp tags in css

Do you need to use javascript to detect screen size? I thought it could be done with css @media

I used to think that txp tags in css files would be a great idea, but since using the horrible stylevars system in vBulletin (which is a similar concept) I’m not so sure. As Els said earlier it’s much easier to get specific pages using <body id=”<txp:section />”> and other similar techniques and do targeted conditional css such as…

#actualsectionname #header {background-color:#f00;}
