I was looking for a way to resize and move the browser's window and I've found these:
self.resizeTo(w, h) and self.moveTo(x, y) - this seems to work perfectly, but only in Firefox and IE (tested with IE8, I don't know how it works in the previous versions). How can I force the same behavior (resizing and moving) in Opera and Chrome? In these browsers the above solution does not work at all. Just nothing happens and nothing appears in the error console.

• 1 Note that resize/move may be disabled even for pop-ups on Firefox. Mucking around with window positioning is widely regarded as obnoxious and blocked for this reason. – bobince Commented Oct 7, 2010 at 18:36

In Opera and Chrome you can use window.resizeTo(w,h); but it won't affect maximized tabs (so you can only move and resize popups).
