Hi, can this be done? [determining size of specified browser window]

[catmansa]

Is there anyway to determine the present pixel height & width size of a
open browser window? :)

Yes.

Your first Hint is that it is covered in the FAQ.

and the second is check out randy's signature .....

[catmansa]

Thank you for that. The only example that partially works (IE >6.0,
XP) is:

<script>

var winWidth = document.docume ntElement.clien tWidth
var winHeight = document.docume ntElement.clien tHeight
alert(winWidth)
alert(winHeight )

</script>

The winHeight comes back as 0.... the other examples show undefined....
is there something I am parsing wrong here? :)

Can you please provide a working solution? Thank you!

[catmansa]

Hmm, ok, then it appears your FAQ has unworking examples. What is the
working solution you don't mind sharing with the group? Thank you.
Best regards, Kat

It does? Where? The code in the FAQ does precisely what the FAQ says it
will do.

"Working solution" to what?

I'm very sorry Randy - If I take your words at face-value you are
saying in my earlier message that "Yes." I am parsing something
wrong?.... the code I presented in my prior message was a cut-and-paste
from your FAQ. I get the width demension but not the height, which
comes back as 0. The other examples don't work at all.... in Firefox
or IE 6.0 & 7.0. I might be overlooking something. When you say Yes,
can you articlate my misunderstandin g? :)
