[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 451381, member: 12496"] It has seen multiple monitors, but they just report a screen size like 3840x1024, or 5760x1080. If you are only using one monitor for the browser, I'd expect it to use that one (I am not sure, but what else could it do if the monitors were different sizes?). The parameters come from the browser - the reported screen size (which can be greatly affected by zooming - which is how it zooms) and the Pixel Ratio, and computes the hardware screen size from that. But not everything works the same, there have been surprises. The browsers all have differences, but I was able to only code one exception for Chrome. They are all alike unless the screen is zoomed, then they go different ways. Chrome and IE report Pixel Ratio of 1 (until zoomed), but Firefox reports the Windows text size number, like 1.2 for 120% (and they all change more with zoom). Device size is (reported screen size times Pixel Ratio), except Chrome reports actual for reported (so no multiply). The cell phones seem better behaved, but I have not seen Android yet. Have to say the participation results from here have been less than hoped for. :) 98 thread views here in a day and a half, but only four hits on the survey button data from here. Thanks very much to those four, but I was hoping for more. :) I'm feeling pretty good about it's corrections now. The Chrome fix was just today, zooming was making it too large yesterday, but fixed now. So y'all come back if it looked strange before... and click the @&#% button. :) So it has seen the browsers, and seen iPhone and Windows phone, but it has not seen Android yet. I worry they may be like Chrome? If anyone has an Android phone, I would really appreciate your looking at [URL="http://www.scantips.com/basics1c.html"]Image resolution for the video monitor screen[/URL] with it, and clicking the button. Hopefully with initial default screen, and again with the screen zoomed to be different than the initial default. For that, I've been shrinking it so the 500 pixel image there just fits the screen width closely. On that page, if you do change zooming, then you have to[B] refresh the web page[/B] for it to see the change. Even if survey fusses "you already voted", it does not matter, for now all the data is still logged at the Survey button. And if you see any strange screen size numbers, I'd sure like to hear details. [/QUOTE]
