Window size via Javascript for Safari (Mac)

Giuseppe Chielli

Hi! I'm new to this newsgroup. I have a problem: I need to get the
window size via Javascript; I usually use window.innerWidth or
document.body.clientWidth with IE and Firefox and it properly works, but
it doesn't work with Safari. It returns null or undefined...
How can I get the window size on Safari?

Thanks a lot to everyone.

Try self.innerHeight/Width. For more information, have a poke around

window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight work on Safari (just tested myself).

Which version of Safari? And which operating system? Have you ever
tested if it works with frames too?
Thanks a lot.

Should have mentioned frames the first time around. There's an
oft-reported bug in v. 1.2 (possibly others) where
innerWidth/innerHeight report '0' respectively. The usual workaround
has been to load a dummy document in the frame/iframe first; after this
the problem seems to disappear. hth

1.2.4 on 10.3.8.

No, but I've heard that it has a bug there, so that may be the cause of
the problem.

Sorry...

Dummy document? Like the following:

<HTML>

<HEAD>
<TITLE>Blank page</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
</BODY>

</HTML>

I should load this document at first, then I should load my document.
Is it correct?
