document.body.clientHeight returns 0 in Firefox

arman_legend

Does anyone know why this returns 0 in Firefox (2) and correct value
in IE (7)?

alert(document.body.clientHeight);

Thank you.

What makes you think IE is correct? Try the following with and
without a doctype. You may wish to discuss the results on

It differs on different browsers, which I think is bad.
