Topic: HTML height

Is there any javascript property that returns the height of the html page?

scrollHeight, offsetHeight, and clientHeight all return the height of the window.

Nm it doesn't work either.

Edit: Thought I found the solution in parentNode.scrollheight but it doesn't work either.

This is the Yahoo dom library. You can use the methods getViewPortHeight() and getViewPortWidth(), the code is right there,for the height it looks like this

getViewportHeight: function() {
         var height = -1;
         var mode = document.compatMode;
      
         if ( (mode || isIE) && !isOpera ) {
            switch (mode) { // (IE, Gecko)
               case 'CSS1Compat': // Standards mode
                  height = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
                  break;
      
               default: // Quirks
                  height = document.body.clientHeight;
            }
         } else { // Safari, Opera
            height = self.innerHeight;
         }
      
         return height;
      }

Which really just breaks down to document.documentElement.clientHeight or document.body.clientHeight or self.innerHeight.
