Howdy!

I just want to know what the user sees.

What assumptions are you able to reliably make about the browser settings of the user in question? If you are looking at a corporate intranet with every last detail locked down hard, you can probably make fairly detailed assumptions (although the size of the browser window is still hard to control).

If all you need to know is "does this element render in the top/left 800x600 pixels?" you should be able to do a dummy rendering in a larger virtual window and see where stuff falls. Beyond that, you are trying to nail jello to a wall.

yours,
Michael
