Description
The Screen Resolution and Depth (screen) report displays
information regarding the screen sizes used by visiting users. This report
also includes information about the number of simultaneous colors available
on the screens of visiting users. Pie charts present a breakdown which is
organized so that one can easily see what portion of users have at least
a certain minimum screen size or color "depth" (number of colors).
THIS REPORT WORKS ONLY IF THE FOLLOWING SPECIAL STEPS ARE TAKEN:
 1. Copy the provided file wusage_screen_properties.gif
to the top directory of your web server's web space. This image is
a 1x1 pixel transparent GIF. It has no visible effect on the web page
in which it is installed to collect information.
2. Embed it in your home page, or another heavily-accessed page,
using EXACTLY THE FOLLOWING HTML:
<script>
<!--
var bName = navigator.appName;
var bVer = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
var ver;
if (bName == "Netscape" && bVer >= 4) {
ver = 4;
} else if (bName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && bVer >= 4) {
ver = 4;
} else {
ver = 0;
}
if (ver >= 4) {
document.write('<img src="/wusage_screen_properties.gif?' +
'width=' + screen.width + '&' +
'height=' + screen.height + '&' +
'depth=' + screen.colorDepth + '">');
document.writeln();
}
// -->
</script>
Experienced users may of course modify this Javascript. The critical thing is
that the image be loaded at the URL shown, with the appropriate parameters
packed in the format shown. Wusage 8.0 must see the URL as shown above
in order to capture the information correctly.
The Screen Resolution and Color Depth (screen) report is turned
on by default. However, it will not produce useful information until the
steps shown above have been followed.
