OVERVIEW:

Get the pixel-based resolution of the host device.

Include this script and then do something like this:

console.log("device resolution is " + resolutiondppx);
// device resolution is 1

More Information:

device resolution is obtained differently depending upon browser (webkit or non-webkit).

Webkit supports pixel-based resolutions (dots per pixel, dppx, dots/pixel). The W3C added standards for pixel resolution styles. New browsers support them (not the way webkit does).

Webkit environments provide easy access to device resolution:

// webkit
resolution = window.devicePixelRatio;
// spidermonkey
window.matchMedia('(min-resolution: 2dppx)').matches

Example devicePixelRatio values are 1, 2 and 2.25. This document has examples using these values.

Better understand this script by viewing its source.
