Get a browser window height and width
These client side JavaScript functions will return the height and width of the browser window content area. This is useful when doing graphics operations with a javascript library like Dojo, Moo Tools, jQuery, etc.
Window Height
The height of the content area of a browser
function getWindowHeight() {
var myHeight = 0;
if( typeof( window.innerWidth ) == 'number' ) {
//Non-IE
myHeight = window.innerHeight;
} else if( document.documentElement && ( document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.documentElement.clientHeight ) ) {
//IE 6+ in 'standards compliant mode'
myHeight = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
} else if( document.body && ( document.body.clientWidth || document.body.clientHeight ) ) {
//IE 4 compatible
myHeight = document.body.clientHeight;
}
return myHeight;
}
Window Width
The width of the content area of a browser
function getWindowWidth() {
var myWidth = 0;
if( typeof( window.innerWidth ) == 'number' ) {
//Non-IE
myWidth = window.innerWidth;
} else if( document.documentElement && ( document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.documentElement.clientHeight ) ) {
//IE 6+ in 'standards compliant mode'
myWidth = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
} else if( document.body && ( document.body.clientWidth || document.body.clientHeight ) ) {
//IE 4 compatible
myWidth = document.body.clientWidth;
