Topic awaiting preservation: detecting screen width? (Page 1 of 1)

I need to detect the available screen width of the browser for IE. How can this be done?

I will also need to do it for netscape as well, later on.

To get the size of the available drawing area

if  (typeof(window.innerWidth) == 'number')                           use window.innerWidth

if  (typeof(window.document.body.clientWidth) == 'number') use window.document.body.clientWidth

To get the window width

if  (typeof(window.outerWidth) == 'number')                           use window.outerWidth

if  (typeof(window.document.body.clientWidth) == 'number') use window.document.body.clientWidth

To get the screen width
use window.screen.width


-- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.

that just gives me "undefined" in IE.

alert(window.innerWidth);
alert(window.document.body.clientWidth);
