Question

I have:

window.addEventListener('resize',doSomething,false);
        function doSomething() {
            var yres = document.body.offsetHeight;
            var xres = document.body.offsetWidth;
            alert(xres+'x'+yres);
        }

This function shows my body resolution in google chrome my (1350×651), in firefox (1509×20) and in internet explorer (nothing). Why are the resolution from different browser different?

thanks.

With jQuery it’s simple, do something like:

$(window).width();
$(document).width();
$(window).height();
$(document).height();

Without js this should suffice:

screen.height;
screen.width;

In your case im guessing you would use window since that’s where you added the listener. Also, http://www.javascripter.net/faq/browserw.htm could help with some more foolproof code since offsetWidth and Height seems to be some IE thing.
