    Getting size of window?

    Hi,

    What is the correct way to get the dimensions of the displayable window?
    I.e. I don't want the border or the toolbar to be included in the height
    or width.

    I want to request an image from a php page by passing arguments for
    height and width so that will be rendered to fit exactly in the window.

    Thanks for any help.

          Thanks, but none of those methods worked for me in IE 6.

          The DOM method worked great in firefox and on my cell phone.

          document.docume ntElement.clien tHeight in firefox returns the height that
          the content spans, not the height of the window :(

          I need a solution that will work across all common browsers and
          hopefully most cell phones. I assume at the moment this is not possible?

          Thanks

              document.body.c lientHeight and document.body.c lientWidth seems to work
              fine on IE6, Firefox and Opera. Thats all I tested though.

                  In firefox, the error console gives the following message:

                  Error: document.body has no properties
                  Source File: file:///.../dim2.html
                  Line: 4

                  Source:

                  <html>
                  <script>

                  var winWidth = document.body.c lientWidth;
                  var winHeight = document.body.c lientHeight;


                  document.write( winWidth + " x " + winHeight);

                  </script>
                  </html>
