Newbie to javascript, I'm a designer trying to make the transition over to doing some programming.

I understand the vast majority of stuff, however, I'm baffled by one feature I'd like to have on the site I'm designing, and that is the jquery slider on MailChimp's homepage. It resizes to the width of the users screen resolution, from edge to edge, left to right. On my laptop, the slider covers the entire width of the screen, 1028x768. And the slider also covers the width of my work monitor, which is much larger, 1920x1080.

 

Does anyone know how to have this "automatic" resizing of the slider? Or is it a simple trick I'm missing?

Someone please help.

 

Regards,

Mike
