How to get browser screen settings and apply to page controls??

[EricBlair]

Hello,

New to Javascript and was wondering if anyone can show me the following...

I want to get the height of the browser's viewing area and then set a page control's height to that value.

For example, I have a asp:Panel that has a certain default height in px units...I'd like to override that on page load or other event and apply the actual height of the browser's viewing area to it.

Thanks in advance!!

hi ...

to retrieve the height you may use:

[CODE=javascript]// not IE-browsers
var height = window.innerHei ght;

// IE
var height_ie = document.body.c lientHeight;[/CODE]
or just set the height of your desired control to 100%

kind regards

Thanks for your reply! I can't use 100% because this is for setting an ajax control that only takes px units. So I need the browser space as provided by javascript, which I hope is returned in px units. Is it?

hmmm ... you will get an absolute px-value and in case you set it then just concat the 'px' to it ...

kind regards
