Get size of browser window

[pixelwit]

Is there a way to get the size of the viewable area of the browser window? I would like to be able to track how much of the browser's window is viewable even after the window has been resized.

Is it possible?

javascript:
window.innerHeight: pixel height of document within browser's frame.
window.innerWidth: pixel width of document within browser's frame.
window.outerHeight: pixel height of browser (including toolbars,chrome, titlebar etc.).
window.outerWidth: pixel width of browser (including browser frame, chrome etc.).

Thanks TG, but since I have like zero knowledge of javascript, I'm going to need to pester you for some more info. How would I go about getting those properties into my SWF as variables when the browser is resized? Know of any references that will help me out?

Thanks again,

well, hmmm i'm kinda stumped here.

heres how i would do it (and expect it to work too).


myWidth=getURL("javascript:window.innerWidth;");
myHeight=getURL("javascript:window.innerHeight;");
trace(myWidth+","+myHeight);


but when i ran a test, it didn't work.
i'll have to dig around in some of my resources to see if these objects are supported by ie (my browser of choice).

Thanks TG, I appreciate your help. One more question, will I be able to detect the "resizeEvent" or wil I need to keep checking if the size of the window has changed?
