Topic awaiting preservation: cross browser window width detection? (Page 1 of 1)

Greets!

I need to determine the width of a browser window. For IE, I have

if ((document.all) && (document.body.clientWidth > 800)){
do something
}


This works great in IE, but I am having a real PAIN trying to get the NN side to work. What would the correct parameter be to check for the width of the current browser window?

if ((document.layers) && (window.innerWidth > 800))?

Exactly. Just remember that window.innerWidth includes scrollbars, which are usually (but not always) 16 pixels wide or tall. You can't be perfectly accurate.

Don't forget about standard-compliant browsers, which won't react to either of these if statements...

do this:

if (document.getElementById && (document.body.offsetWidth > 800))

that might work... maybe not...
