RE: Browser for screen resolution preview

Good point!

I didn't write the code, but have found it to be pretty accurate.

Look at Internet Explorer on Windows.  See how the window borders are much
thinner when the window is maximised?  I would say that the code simulates a
maximised window at 800x600, and that the +8s are in the code to compensate
for this difference.

Hope this helps,

Tim
