How do I force websites to be <800 wide?

[1Cheap2Crazy]

I'm using the proxomitron web filter. I also like my text a little larger then normal. Is there anything I can do to force ALL web pages to be only 750-800 pixels wide? I want it to fit on my 17" CRT. Would you call it wordwrap? I hate having to scroll left to right just to read. It even happens at this website 🙁 I'm using Firefox for my browser.

Thanks

You can't.

The one thing you could try would be some crazy client-side css stuff, but I wouldn't know how to do that. Besides, it would probably completely screw up the page formatting.

You can too. Just use a browser like Mozilla or Opera that let's you do a user style sheet. Then write a rule like:

body {max-width: 750px !important;}

done and done.

Yeah, and you could also use Internet Explorer.

How does IE allow you to use user style sheets?

Good luck wrangling a useful solution out of its mediocre CSS implementation. 😉

Tools / Internet Options / General / Accessibility / "Format documents using my stylesheet"

Cool. That worked. Never new about user style sheets before.

For firefox in Linux you go and check out your home directory .pheonix/default/somethingweird.slt/chrome/

In there will be 2 sample css files. UserContent-example.css and UserChrome-example.css copy them and get rid of the -example in their name and keep them in the same directory. UserChrome.css will modify the looks/fonts/whatever for the the menus and bookmarks and menus and such for the browser itself and UserContent.css is for modifying the pages in the windows.

I put that stuff in the UserContent.css

See here for details
