Create an IE Favorite to quickly resize your browser

Often times when editing or designing a web page or a site I use my full screen to take advantage of all the realestate my screen has to offer. I also often times need to quickly see what a page will look like in a smaller screen resolution such as 1024x768.
Here is a quick tip to quickly and easily resize your IE browser to a specific size.

  • Create a shortcut in your IE Favorites or in you Links folder.

  • Rename this shortcut/favorite to "Resize Window to 1024x768".

  • Edit the properties of the shortcut and place the following line of javascript in the URL property.
    javascript:window.resizeTo(1024,768)
    Note: You will receive a warning prompt. Simply proceed.

  • Save the properties and then click your new favorite Resize Window to 1024x768.

Your current window should now automatically resize to 1024x768. You can change this to 800x600 or whatever size you need.
