[TriLUG] web window size

[Glenn Hennessee]

Put the content in a <div></div> that has been styled with a width is 
the only way I know of attempting this but it won't actually change the 
size of the browser window. As far as I can determine javascript is the 
only way to change the window size. The suggestion of checking browser 
agent and branching is your only bet for actually doing what you want to 
do I think.

e.g. <div style="width:400px; "> </div>
