Screen resolution bookmarklets

I’ve been using various methods to test screen resolutions in Safari, but this is probably my favourite:

Safari screen resolutions

Just drag these links to your bookmarks bar (creating a folder to put them in if you so desire) and click them to resize Safari to the desired resolution. Simple huh?

These viewport sizes are “safe” resolutions (taking into account task bars, toolbars, status bars, menus and such) based on the most common set of browsers and operating systems, including Safari, Camino, Firefox, Omniweb, Opera, and Internet Explorer 5, 6 and 7.

Update: classic example of eating one’s own words. My colleague Daniel just sent me a mail to let me know that he’d installed my bookmarklets and discovered that my own site failed on a 1024×768 screen. D’oh! In my defense, it’s not my template, and I hadn’t actually tested it. *sheepish grin* Thanks Daniel! :-P
