For various silly reasons, I’d like to be able to detect the rectangle of the browser window on screen. Title bar and all.

Is this possible, or is JavaScript limited to the view port of its page?

    Y – window.screenY

    For IE:

    X – window.screenLeft
    Y – window.screenTop

    Keep in mind, implementations vary. Beware of multi-monitor setups…
