Question

I am relying on $(window).width(); & $(window).height(); for a resizing function and they seem to come out differently in different browser, same thing is also happening with innerWidth/innerHeight. What is the best way of getting an accurate value for this?

Thanks for any help
Thanks for inpt – for clarification I am using jquery Thanks but I am using 1.7.1 and I have the following css:

*{padding:0;margin:0;border:0;}

with no changes to padding or margin in html or body

Turns out the documentation clarifies that:

$(window).width(); // returns width of browser viewport

So being the viewport, each browser has a different viewport usable area.
