Width and Height

[Balaji Loganathan]

Hi,
The script at http://www.a1ien51.8k.com/scripts/popupwingenV2.htm
var ScreenWidth=window.screen.width;
var ScreenHeight=window.screen.height;
This gives the monitor screen and height,for example 1024,768.
Is there is any way to calculate browser-display-area width and height ?,i mean the area where you see the web pages(below the address bar and
above the status bar)??
Thank you

try this:
var ScreenWidth=window.screen.availWidth
var ScreenHeight=window.screen.availHeight

No its not giving the actual size.
the new values are 1024,740
740 -> is taller than the workarea of the browser.

well, maybe you used:
window.innerHeight
window.innerWidth
but thats just netscape/mozilla. in IE it's a little bit more tricky. there you use:
document.body.offsetHeight
document.body.offsetWidth
but you have to call these both methods after the availably of the body-element. the best thing is to use onLoad for that.
hope, it helps

hi Balaji,
there is a great html-guide called selfhtml http://selfhtml.teamone.de/ online. but it's all written in german. i wonder why it's not translated in english anyway?
