My only complaint is that on a dual monitor setup the maximum link centers the window in the middle of the two screens. Pretty slick either way.

I'm gonna say it is your browsers fault, since my Firefox 4 maximizes it on the screen it was on.

Here is the javascriptlet: javascript:window.resizeTo(400,400)

I was able to crash FF 3.6.17 with javascript:window.resizeTo(999999999,999999999999).

Just something I found interesting.

Cool utility - one minor change that I would use ... put in an INPUT box, so that I can paste a URL in there ... then when I click on each size, open the tab and point it to that URL, then I can quickly see my site in all of the different sizes.

Well done, quite sexy :) A

Simple and pretty laggy for me on chrome - even moving the mouse seems to lag a little.

Just an FYI - the Web Developer Toolbar extension for FF and Chrome has this built-in.

Ah, I didn't know this was available for Chrome - thank you!

Nice, but I can't help but think this would be better as a browser extension instead. That way you could use it on your own URL without going back and forth.

For those with Chrome, you can try Resolution Test: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/idhfcdbheobinplaam...

heh I miss this ever since web inspector and firebug pretty much replaced the web developers toolbar good job, thanks

I used to have both, firebug and webdev inspector when I was into html more than I'm now, can't remember any problems with them co-existing.

I have both and they work perfectly well together.

I'm actually using Firefox 4. I should have mentioned that before.

I'm a bit disappointed, because it renders relative widths according to the current window width, which would be much smaller on smaller screens.

Many of my webpages have something like

width: 80% max-width: 80em

or so for the main text. Which ensures that on a narrow window you still see a decent part of the main text, but on this test site it looks as though you only see the margin with a narrow browser window.
