Is there a way to find out if a user has dual monitors??

I have an online program and a few users have come across a GUI issue - their menus do not align properly and the only thing in common with the users is that they all have dual monitors. Soooo - I need to check for dual monitors and modify my code accordingly... problem is I have no idea how to check for dual monitors. There must be a system variable I can check, but I haven't had any luck so far.

Can anyone lend a hand?
Thanks!

it's not possible with php because it's a server-side language and the only thing it can see is the server. You need to use an advanced client-side language such as Java. (maybe? im unsure on this!)

Ok, so I'm looking for a javascipt solution. NOT finding a solution isn't much of an option, lol.

Has anyone else had trouble with GUI dislpays and dual monitors?

Thanks!!
