Resize Browser Window - 1/22/2005 23:52:43
I found this utility handy. At a click, it will resize your browser window to different resolutions (similar to the FP function). It's easy to configure to Mozilla, Firefox, and other browsers.

Oooh nice! Thanks heaps for that one Dave. I've added it to my Links in IE, where it resides with a few other very useful bookmarklets.

javascript:resizeTo(800,600) This is nice, it works fine with Firefox 0.9 and Mozilla 1.7 too. I haven't (yet) tried it with Netscape, older versions of IE, Firefox, and Mozilla, or miscellaneous odd browsers.

And if you have Firefox browser with the Web Developer extension added, it will do that too. I usually try to keep my browsers off-the-shelf, to replicate what many users will have, so I haven't ever added the Firefox extentions. Does the Firefox extention allow you to resize other windows besides Firefox?

Fair enough. However, my reply was mainly aimed at other people who will be reading this thread - as it is in Hints and Tips. The more alternatives to choose from, the better. e.g. I had never heard of Dave's tip before you started this thread.

Not that I am aware. But besides browser windows, I can't think of another program I would want or need to use it in. YMMV.

Just Firefox.

Here's what I do ... no software required ... just a graphics program.
Step 1. Create a desktop background image that matches the size of your monitor resolution (in my case 1280 X 1084)
Step 2. Draw boxes that represent various broswer window sizes (640 X 480, 800 X 600 etc)
Step 3. Save the image then make it your desktop background.
Step 4. Re-size your browser manually to fit the box outlines
Works on all platfroms, all browsers and software ... :>)
No javascript required:
Hope this one is of use ....

Can you tell me more about the Foxfire Web Developer Extensions? I don't see anything on their site about it.

If it is similar to a FrontPage function, why do you ned another resizer? What is the diff between them?

Sometimes you want to resize the browser for pages you are not working on in FP, like when someone in Outfront forum is having a problem with their site and you need to see it in another resolution. Or you are checking your site live from a browser, but don't have FP open.

I am obviously new to all of this. Exactly how do you create a bookmark for javascript:resizeTo(800,600). Thanks.

In IE, one way would be to:
(1) Open your Favorites folder.
(2) Right-click on the background and select New | Text Document.
(3) Name the file using a .url extension, (e.g., Resize to 800x600.url)
(4) Open the file you just created in Notepad (don't double-click the file, since it's not a .txt file. The SendTo feature is nice for this, if you have a shortcut Notepad in your SendTo folder).
(5) Put the following text in the file:
[InternetShortcut]
URL=javascript:resizeTo(800,600)
(6) Save the file.
Now, when you select that favorite from your browser, it should resize your window.
Hope that helps,
Kevin
