Detecting full screen window size

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 06.2005

I’m working on a site which has a bit of a dodgy tabled layout. When the browser window gets too small the layout goes really bad.
As a quick fix, I thought i’d fix the size of the tables to full screen width, and this is where I ran into problems.
[I]window.width[/I] gives the full screen resolution, but not the available width and doesn’t take scrollbars and stuff into account.
I had a script for availble width and was going to sit down and work out full screen width for various resoltions, but that wasn’t working and there surely must be a better way?
Any ideas? Browser-safe code would be welcomed!!
Cheers

function pageWidth() {
return window.innerWidth != null?
window.innerWidth:
document.body != null?
document.body.clientWidth:null;}
function pageHeight() {
return window.innerHeight != null?
window.innerHeight:
document.body != null?
document.body.clientHeight:null;}

Success!
