TheTrixter Bipolar (III) Inmate From: Derbyshire, UK Insane since: Jul 2000	posted 08-07-2000 12:49 I've just rememberd a nagging question I've been meaning to ask you guys. Firstly, how to you set your window to exactly 640 pixels wide? Is there a way other than clicking and dragging? And also another thing thats been bugging me. When I open another window when browsing the net, is there a default setting somewhere that you can set up to determine the size of the new window, or is it determined by the web page you are currently viewing?? Please help, this little point is really bugging me, sometimes I manage to open a new window and it is maximised then another time it will be about 90% etc. . . . So annoying when you don't understand.

Just create a new bookmark in your browser using this as the destination: javascript:void(outerWidth=640);void(outerHeight=480) Then, click that bookmark and it will change your browser to 640x480. I have a couple set up for different sizes. I know this one will work in NN, but I'm not sure about IE. Go to www.bookmarklets.com to see more. They make lots of useful tools.
