I´m using the firefox plugin Web developer toolbar which makes the mentioned plugin obsolete. With WDT you could resize the browser window to desired widths and heights.

I like the one with a grid beneath: http://www.matuvu.nu/2009/02/screendimensions/

Put some layers of grid design on top of it in a PSD, and you get a perfect template to start any webdesign with.

Thanks for the post, @swissmiss, and thanks @pop for the feedback. Being able to do this for a centered site is definitely a concern of ours, and is in the works for sure.

The only problem I see with this app is that it is unusable for centered layouts. Would be a nice option to have.
But it is still a good add-on.

Very interesting.

We wrote a little page of HTML, which we have found to be helpful in establishing a canvas size with our clients.

The code is a slightly hackish, as, heretofore, it’s really only been for internal purposes, but have a look if you wish:

With proper attribution, feel free to copy the code and update the HTML to include your client’s heading and navigation.
