    I have a very large monitor and my resolution can not be tweaked to these numbers
    1280×1024
    800X600

    I was wondering if someone with one of the two resolution could load two parts and my site

    http://monitorporn.info/ and http://monitorporn.info/view/327/nasty-skanks-sucking-a-moron-off-in-a-yard/

    Warning - The site has adult content

    I am wondering if the site fits your screen.
    I can not stand sites that have a scroll bar and i dont want to have a site like that.
    So if you can load this site with both resolutions without having to scroll to see the entire page i will be very satisfied.
    Thanks

    I suppose you mean to fit horizontally ...

    they do not fit in 800x600

    in 1280x1024 both pages fit, but both have vertical scrolling
    (the video fits though in the screen)

    vertical scrolling would be ok just horizontal is horrible
    would it be to much to ask for a screen shot with 1280x1024?

    Get yourself the Firefox Web Developer's Toolbar, where you can atomatically set resolutions in the toolbar and at the click of a button you can resize just your firefox windows to any resolution you wish, and you will see what it would look like at that resolution.

    Also, I'm not sure if you're using Windows or mac, but you can download or purchase one of these tools: Virtualbox (free from Sun Microsystems, the makers of Java) or VMware, and install windows, mac or linux in a virtual machine, which you can set to any resolution and run inside of a window (or fullscreen) on your desktop.

    This is currently the only way I know of that will allow you to test your website easily in all of the following:

    Windows:
    Internet Explorer 6, 7, 8
    Opera 7, 8, 9
    Firefox 2, 3
    Safari

    OS X:
    Firefox 2,3
    Safari
    Camino
    Opera

    Linux:
    Firefox
    Opera
    Konqueror (upon which safari is based)

    So, I highly recommend you checking this out. Also, there's a site called Browser Shots or something like that (google might be of help here) that will let you check a site on a server running all of the different operating systems and see images of how they load, but you will be unable to interact with the results because they send images back.

    I recommend that you design your sites to still fit within a 1024x screen, and the 960 grid system makes a lot of sense for that. Just because a user might have 1280x or 1680x doesn't mean they use their web browser fullscreen either. I have 1680x10024 and I often shrink my browser down to about half that size and use other programs or watch tv on the other half while I'm browsing, so wide websites I will just simply skip over and not use. Just something to keep in mind.
