This may be a big no-no in web design, but some people still do it
regardless of what may be good and right in webdev rulebook. There's an
easy way to stop sites from doing this, assuming you're using Firefox
(which you should be).
In Firefox, go to "Options" under the "Tools" menu. Find your way to
the "Content" section in the Options. Next to the "Enable Javascript"
option you will see an Advanced button. Click on that and in the dialog that pops up uncheck the Move or resize existing windows option.
Once you save all your changes, Firefox will not be bothered by
those nasty window resize scripts. There is also a more involved method
of configuring the same option by using about: config, but I won't get into that since the above method is much easier to do and follow.
