I'm making a responsive website where I need to test my webpage's css, html, javascript rendering on 2400px resolution while my screen is only 1900px.

  • You do realize that you can resize browser windows beyond your screen resolution on most systems? Just move them halfway out of the screen and then resize the border that's now in the middle of the screen. It's useless for actual use, but will suffice for testing. This screenshot of the complete window was taken on OS X with 1680x150 screen resolution.

  • It's really a problem with your OS trying to outsmart you then. Could reproduce with Safari on Windows 7.

    This question is probably more suited for Webmasters but I'll take a stab at it and suggest ViewLikeUs which




    allows you to check out how your website looks in the most popular resolution formats.

      You could try the addon for Chrome: Resolution tester that supports custom resolutions :)

        If you hit Ctrl+Shift+M in recent versions of Firefox, you'll enter Responsive Design View, which can resize the browser viewport to be larger than the actual screen size. You can also take screenshots and simulate touch events from FF 26 onwards.



        Screenshot of RDV
        Click for full size



        You might find it easier to resize after you make the window smaller - you can drag the sizers further in one go. Or just enter a custom preset from the dropdown.

        • Is there an api for this option ? For enabling it via js code injected either from website or from inside an addon?

        • @KamalReddy I don't think you'd be able to do so from within the content context (website), but it should be possible from the chrome context (addon). Well, in the future anyway. Perhaps you can simulate the Ctrl+Shift+M?

        Just change the zoom on your browser, when you zoom out, essentially your window size is reporting a bigger and bigger width to your application.



        example jsfiddle here, just click on the button, see the width it's reporting, then zoom out a little and click the same button-- it'll report a larger size.

          Try the custom resolution settings in the device emulator in Google Chrome. It gives you more control than using the browser's zoom functionality.



          Enable the device emulator and check the 'zoom to fit' option.



          Manually enter resolutions up to 9999px wide (or drag the edges of the emulated screen. The emulated resolution will be scaled to fit in your own viewport.



          You can keep the resolution height low actually as you will be able to scroll down anyway. This way you can keep the inspector open too. A great workflow for web development!

                    This question is probably more suited for Webmasters but I'll take a stab at it and suggest ViewLikeUs which

                                    If you hit Ctrl+Shift+M in recent versions of Firefox, you'll enter Responsive Design View, which can resize the browser viewport to be larger than the actual screen size. You can also take screenshots and simulate touch events from FF 26 onwards.



                                    Screenshot of RDV
                                    Click for full size



                                    You might find it easier to resize after you make the window smaller - you can drag the sizers further in one go. Or just enter a custom preset from the dropdown.

                                    If you hit Ctrl+Shift+M in recent versions of Firefox, you'll enter Responsive Design View, which can resize the browser viewport to be larger than the actual screen size. You can also take screenshots and simulate touch events from FF 26 onwards.

                                    Click for full size



                                    You might find it easier to resize after you make the window smaller - you can drag the sizers further in one go. Or just enter a custom preset from the dropdown.

                                    Just change the zoom on your browser, when you zoom out, essentially your window size is reporting a bigger and bigger width to your application.



                                    example jsfiddle here, just click on the button, see the width it's reporting, then zoom out a little and click the same button-- it'll report a larger size.

                                            Try the custom resolution settings in the device emulator in Google Chrome. It gives you more control than using the browser's zoom functionality.



                                            Enable the device emulator and check the 'zoom to fit' option.



                                            Manually enter resolutions up to 9999px wide (or drag the edges of the emulated screen. The emulated resolution will be scaled to fit in your own viewport.



                                            You can keep the resolution height low actually as you will be able to scroll down anyway. This way you can keep the inspector open too. A great workflow for web development!
