Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference

Name

availHeight, availWidth — NN 4 IE 4 DOM n/a

Synopsis

Read-only

Height and width of the content region of the user’s video monitor in pixels. This measure does not include the 24-pixel taskbar (Windows 95/NT) or 20-pixel system menubar (Macintosh). IE 4/Macintosh miscalculates the height of the menubar as 24 pixels. To use these values in creating a maximized window, you also have to adjust the top-left position of the window.

Example

var newWind = window.open("","","HEIGHT=" + screen.availHeight + 
",WIDTH=" + screen.availWidth)

Value

Integer of available pixels in vertical and horizontal dimensions.

Default

Depends on the user’s monitor size.
