Add Column Depending on Screen Resolution

[thepelican]

I don't know Javascript that well, but I was wondering how you can show
an extra column on a 1024x768 resolution, while hiding it from someone
surfing on 800x600. I know ESPN and NBA.com do this, but apparently
ESPN's doesn't work on Firefox.

Column of what? Of a table, or of a css float?

You can get the screen measurements in JS
and then style.display='none' a colunm on demand,
perhaps with className manipulation.

Try to make a code after learning some JS, or hire a programmer.

Why would you wish to discriminate against me just because of the size of
my "resolution"?

FWIW my desktop is 4800 pixels wide. Do I get *extra* columns?

He did not say that the information content of the column would not then
be shown elsewhere.

But your own attribution is, by respected (except by Lahn) recent USEFOR
thinking, inadequate; and your signature has too many lines for long-
established convention.
