Question

In Firefox you can enter the following into the awesome bar and hit enter:

javascript:self.resizeTo(1024,768); 

How do you do the same thing in IE?

Answer 1

javascript:resizeTo(1024,768); vbscript:resizeto(1024,768)

Will work in IE7, But consider using something like

javascript:moveTo(0,0);resizeTo(1024,768);

because IE7 doesn’t allow the window to ‘resize’ beyond the screen borders. If you work on a 1024,768 desktop, this is what happens…

• Firefox: 1024×768 Window, going behind the taskbar. If you drop the moveTo part, the top left corner of the window won’t change position.(You still get a 1024×768 window)
• IE7: As close as possible to the requested size without obscuring the taskbar or allowing any part of the window to lie beyond the screen borders.
• safari: As close as possible to the requested size without obscuring the taskbar or allowing any part of the window to lie beyond the screen borders, but you can ommit the moveTo part. Safari will move the top left corner of the window for you.
• Opera: Nothing happens.
• Chrome: Nothing happens.
