JSV_getWindowDimensions - JavaScript Vision

See also: JSV_windowCenter, JSV_getWindowDeltas, JSV_xyValues

Returns an x,y object (see JSV_xyValues) containing the outer width and height of the browser window.

Syntax

JSV_getWindowDimensions(expWH, expWD)

Returns

Returns an x,y object (see JSV_xyValues) containing the the inner and outer window dimensions of the browser window.

Parameters

The JSV_getWindowDimensions function uses the following arguments.

Argument	Description
expWH	The window handle—the result of the open() method that is a reference or handle to the newly opened window and used to close the window, and to interrogate and alter the windows properties.
expWD	The x,y object (see JSV_xyValues) that contains the window deltas (i.e., difference between the inner window dimensions and the outer dimensions of the browser window). (See JSV_getWindowDeltas.)

Remarks

This function is for use with browsers that support JavaScript 1.2 or later.

For Netscape Navigator, this can be x,y = 0,0 since Netscape provides the outerWidth and outerHeight of the browser window. (See JSV_getWindowDeltas.)
