[NTLUG:Discuss] show firefox/mozilla 'size'

[Robert Thompson]

You can use javascript to rezsize the browser to any size.

Referenced from: http://www.javascripter.net/faq/resizing.htm

<form name=f1>
<input type=button value="Resize to 600x400"
onClick="if(parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>3)top.resizeTo(600,400)">
</form>

	You can set the javascript up in the page you are testing. At one time I had it setup as a bookmark in my browser.

	One thing to note, I think the font is scaled differently when your resolution is higher. So even though your window is 800x600, the font may be larger or smaller because it's being rendered for 1600x1200. It's been a while since I last messed with this, but that's what I remember happening. You can get a rough estimate though of what it would look like so it may be good enough.
