Quick browser window size adjustments

When developing web-based applications, the resolution of the target user has to be taken into consideration. My development machine runs a resolution of 1280×1024 but I frequently need to verify that a particular web application will fit on the screen of a user running 1024×768 or even 800×600. Rather than adjusting my resolution every time, I’ve added a link under Favorites inside Internet Explorer that resizes the window to the size I wish.

In the Address bar, enter the following:

javascript:resizeTo(1024,768); moveTo(128,128);

This will resize the window and center it on a 1280×1024 resolution display. Now just add this address to your Favorites. I place the bookmark under the Links folder to make it easily accessible on the toolbar. You can change the numbers to adjust the window size and placement.
