Internet Explorer Win XP 800 x 600 Window

G

Is it possible for me to force Internet Explorer to open
in an 800 x 600 Window size on a resolution higher than
800 x 600? I am doing web design and need my screen at a
higher resolution, but still need to design for 800 x
600. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You mean for you to test how your page might look on an 800x600 res
monitor? I normally code for cross-compatibility as much as possible,
and alter my screen resolution on my PC to test the pages for
compatibility, but you could always keep a blank 800x600resolution HTML
file that is empty, except for a pop-up that spawns your primary page at
an 800x600 width/height, like this (watch line wrap):

<body onload="window.open ('mainpage.html',
'spawn',config='height=600,width=800')">

Here is an online version that will let you look at several different
resolutions by spawning pop ups:

Note that these may not be "exact on," as it is always better to change
the display resolution to test pages, rather than using a
high-resolution, and spawning windows to certain widths/heights. That
way you get to see it as other people would.

Cheers for the help. The only problem I have with
adjusting the resolution for my screen is that I have to
keep adjusting the screen size and position every time I
change the resolution which is painful to say the least,
and incredibly time consuming. I have been looking for a
solution for sometime. Thanks for the help, it will help
me no end! Cheers!
