screen size changes layer position

Greetings,
I am a low-mid level DWmx designer and CFmx programmer. I'm looking for a
easy to implement/understand way of getting the following done: I need to
setup a system where a page determines what the screen size is, and then
positions a layer at a certain distance from the L margin. Using % or static
px distances are not working.

I'd guess this involves using a series of cfif statements in the head, but I
don't know how to pull the screen size. Thanks so much.

Here is the page address:
[L=http://www.wpta.org/index2.cfm]http://www.wpta.org/index2.cfm[/L] It is
worthy of note that the graphic is on the actual page, and the lookup tool is
on the layer. The graphic is centered, but the layer changes its positions
according to screen size, and is not always under the WI state graphic.

Thanks,
Stephen

You either can get the free 'snap layer' extention from
www.projectseven.com look under the extentions listings or you can wrap
your main design in a relatively positioned <div> and then place your
absolutely positioned <divs> inside the relative one. They will take the
x/y positioning from the top/left corner of the relatively positioned
<div> not the edge of the browser window.

Snap layer does just what it says, snaps a layer relative to something
on your page, usually an image.
