Viewable Area Test
I’m curious to the relationship between screen resolution and actual viewable browser area (see this post). I need your help.
I wrote a quick page that will print out the two for you (it should work, anyway — I wrote it in 30 seconds and tested it for about that long). This page will tell you:
- Your screen resolution.
- The viewable area of the browser window you load the page into.
(Note: IE under XP SP2 may complain about “active content” or some such garbage. If you trust me, just “Allow blocked content…” If you don’t trust me, then I’m hurt, I really am.)
So go to this page, copy the results out of the textbox, and paste them into a comment on this entry. If you feel ambitious, perhaps let us know what “viewable area intrusions” you have running (bookmarks toolbar, CSS toolbar, just don’t run the browser fullscreen, etc.).
One more time, here’s the link.

Gadgetopia Screen Resolution Stats
I'm using a new stat tracking app called Mint. It has a plug-in called "User Agent 007" (ho, ho -- what wit) that captures browser stats. Interesting stats: almost 90% of Gadgetopia visitors are at 1024 x 768 or greater almost 20% of visitors are at higher resolution than 1024…
