This is a useful online tool i found that web developers and designers will find worth having in their bookmarks. It allows you to see how your site fits and looks on different web browsers and different screen resolutions. You simply type in the url of the site you want to test out and select the screen resolution you want to see it at.

Then it pops up a separate window which has been resized to the size it would appear if viewed in the chosen resolution and browser type.

Go check it out to see exactly what i mean. Certainly anyone who designs websites will find this a very useful tool.
