Question

i know there is stuff like window innerHeight etc.
Can I retrieve the real window height of my browser (with all it’s toolbars etc.)??
crossbrowser if possible?

regards matt

Answer 1

In most browsers, you can use window.outerWidth and window.outerHeight.

However, it’s not generally possible in IE. It used to be possible to use a hacky solution involving window.resizeTo but that method no longer works in various situations, including whenever tabbed browsing is enabled.
