Logging Resolution etc...

How is this done.

I have previously used WebTrends and WebTrends Live. I remember it logging the visitors resolution. I am wondering how this is done. I know in .net there is browser logging capabilities where you can right code to see if which OS, browser etc people are using. I also know that request.serverVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT") will bring back the user agent of the visitor. How do I bring back the resolution? How does web log analysis software get this info?

I thought that resolution is only available through client side tracking, such as a JavaScript counter?

I don't know about .net, but I'm pretty sure that traditional server logging and server environment variables don't hold this info...

rpking is right. The resolution is only available through client side tracking

How does WebTrendsLive do it then?

[rpking]

From webtrendslive.com [webtrendslive.com]:

As visitors access individual site pages containing WebTrends Live Javascript code, Webtrends’ servers are notified of page acitivity

They do it with script...
