Hi,

I work normal screen and I develop some web application. When the application goes on widescreen some of the pages looks weired. Is there any way I can view my web page as it looks in Widescreen on my normal screen.

Someway to either change resolution for only IE or is there any way (add-on in IE) that i can change resolution for on some instance.

Regards, Piyush

In IE8 press F12, then go tool > resize. Pick a size or enter a custom size.
This is the IE developer toolbar. I don't know if it's available standard in IE 7 but it is in IE8. it's also available as a seperate download.

To compensate for a widescreen, you may want to create a standard screen mode and a widescreen mode javascript. You would be able to tell if the page is wide screen or not by the ratio of the client HTML area wdith/height.

Another way to compensate for this: don't use percentage based widths and heights.

You can always install another copy of Windows under VirtualBox and configure widescreen resolution
