Finding in-calling devic data

Post by christerp1 » Mon Mar 04, 2013 5:32 pm

Is it possible to detect the browser & device, especially screen size data, when a user opens my web page?

Hi,

The headers sent to the server by the browser contain user-agent information, which contains information about the browser and the device. Screen size usually isn't available. You'll have to use CSS to make your website appear correctly on every screensize.

kind regards,
