Three useful functions for JavaScript.
They are not the best since you need to have X and Y as global variables, but it works.
var x,y;//GLOBAL
function returnInnerDimensions(){//returns screen size X,Y
if (self.innerHeight){ // all except Explorer
x = self.innerWidth;
y = self.innerHeight;
}
else if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.clientHeight){// Explorer 6 Strict Mode
x = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
y = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
}
else if (document.body){ // other Explorers
x = document.body.clientWidth;
y = document.body.clientHeight;
}
}
function returnScrollOffset(){//return how much we scrolled already
if (self.pageYOffset){ // all except Explorer
x = self.pageXOffset;
y = self.pageYOffset;
}
else if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollTop){// Explorer 6 Strict
x = document.documentElement.scrollLeft;
y = document.documentElement.scrollTop;
}
else if (document.body){ // all other Explorers
x = document.body.scrollLeft;
y = document.body.scrollTop;
}
}
function returnPageDimensions(){//returns the page size, max X and max Y
var sh = document.body.scrollHeight;
var oh= document.body.offsetHeight
if (sh > oh){ // all but Explorer Mac
x = document.body.scrollWidth;
y = document.body.scrollHeight;
}
else {// Explorer Mac;would also work in Explorer 6 Strict, Mozilla and Safari
x = document.body.offsetWidth;
y = document.body.offsetHeight;
}
}
Works in ie5,ie6,ie7,ie8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari. That I could try 😉
