Hey, I just had someone send me a picture of how my dads website (atriskstoriesofhope.com) loads up in firefox.



And here is how it loads up on my dads computer (Macbook pro running safari)



This is the script that I'm using to resize the website.

<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" FOR="window" EVENT="onload()"><!--
//script by Oogle
//can only be used when running
//in 800x600 resolution

window.moveTo(0, 0)
window.resizeTo(780,613)
//-->
</script>

Simply put, you cannot force the browser window for firefox, except if the user accepted that the site can resize it for them.

I, for once, disabled everything I could in the javascript section.
Popups, moving & resizing of windows, disabling or changing mouse menus, and hiding or changing the status bar text.

And franckly, forcing your user to watch a site in a limited size is just plain wrong....

Tonyo I'm going to agree with Thierry on the resizing. It's not a good idea. I visited your site and it resized my browser. That means it's the last time I would ever visit your site.

My view on this and I think it's the view of many others is that you can do what you want inside the browser window. I expect when I visit your page that it will look different from the last page I was visiting. What you can't do is change anything outside that window. In this case you made my entire browser change. The a visitor that feels very much like you reaching though the web and touching my computer. It sets up mistrust with your site instantly.

What I would do for the site is simply center it so that no matter what resolution a visitor is using the page will sit in the center of the screen. If you need it to fit the full with of the screen you'd either need to recode the site so it's fluid or use browser detection and change the width of your site based on the resolution of the visitor.

Never change the visitors browser to fit your site. Change your site to fit the visitors browser.
