[Seaside] Browser Information

[Boris Popov]

Indeed, nowhere will you find screen resolution in there, but user agent is
actually used quite a bit in real world even though its not a mandatory
regulated field. That's not to say I would recommend relying on it, but its
available should you need that knowledge for whatever reason
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent).

Back to resolution issue, you should be able to use scriptaculous to place
an async request on the home page that sends back,

screen.width+'@'+screen.height

to a callback, which you can then use to set the resolution on your session
and refer to it from there on in. I'll see if I can find a few minutes to
try to provide a working example.

Cheers!

Yeah, but this is totally unspecified (or no browser follows the
specification), not reliable and bad practice. Additionally it doesn't
provide the screen resolution as initially asked.
