I'm not sure what you are trying to do. If you put your page inside
HTML tables you can set a fixed with for that table for example.

Use JavaScript. But it won't work if someone's JavaScript is turned off.

Some people object to their browser being resized so you may want to provide a link with a small text line explaining that their browser is going to be resized if they click a link.

If your goal is to resize the window and keep it that way you will also need to turn off the ability for the user to resize it. In general, if you are going to resize their window and disable it you should make it a new window so that they don't loose how they got to your site in the first place.

I personally hate it when a site resizes my current browser window... usually to full screen. I leave those sites right away...
