Screen Resolutions
Screen Resolutions

I am using the Java Script method window.showmodaldialog to display an ascx. I set the dialogWidth to 700px and dialogHeight to 500px, but it looks a bit naff on higher screen resolutions.

Does anybody know if I can use percentages for the width and height or if I can some how interrogate the users screen resolution and set the height and width accordingly.

Cheers,

A.

Take a look here:

You can interogate the browser, get the screen/browser dimensions, then calculate some size % for your popup.

Thanks but I couldn't get it to work. This is the code I am using to load my modal browser:

' Inject Dialog Open Window Java Script
Dim script As String
script = "<script language=" & Chr(34) & "javascript" & Chr(34) & ">"
script = script & "window.showModalDialog
                  'ModalIframe.aspx',null,'status:no;dialogWidth:" & "self.screen.width"
                & ";dialogHeight:" & ls_DialogHeight
                & ";dialogHide:true;help:no;scroll:yes');"
script = script & "</script>"

Page.RegisterStartupScript("DisplayModalDialog", script)

It doesn't seem to pick up on the width unless I explicitly set it. Any ideas?

You're on the right track. You need to write a little javascript in your string...

script = script & "window.showModalDialog
                  'ModalIframe.aspx',null,'status:no;dialogWidth:" & "' + self.screen.width*.5 + '"
                & ";dialogHeight:" & ls_DialogHeight
                & ";dialogHide:true;help:no;scroll:yes');"

I added the *.5 so you'd get a 50% screen size dialog. Adjust as necessary.

Are you missing a ( before 'ModalIframe or was that just a paste error?
