Quickly Resize Your Browser Window

Posted Sep 10, 2006 | by David Risley  

For web developers, it is often wise to test how your you design looks using an alternate resolution to yours. For example, if you have your screen set to 1200 x 1024, and want to see how it looks to a potential viewer using a 1024 x 768 resolution, resizing your screen or browser window is quite a hassle. Instead enter this shortcut into your address bar:

javascript:resizeTo(1024,768)

Of course you can change the numbers to anything you want to test. Additionally, you can bookmark this code so it will be available at the click of a button. This is a pretty handy way to test web pages as you go.
