screen width?

[BrotherHolmes]

I have used screen.width in some codes, but that only works for the actual screen size.

I have a 1280 screen width, but I always keep my browser window at a width of 1024. I haven't found any way to get the WINDOW width.

Can someone help me?

<script type='text/javascript'>
<!--

function getWindowInner(){
    return {
       width: (window.innerWidth)? window.innerWidth : document.body.clientWidth
    };
}

alert(getWindowInner().width);

//-->
</script>

I done it so it returns an object so you can extend it if needed

I tried that, but it only gets the frame's width. I just changed it to "window.outerWidth" and it got what I wanted.
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("Inner resolution: ")
document.write(window.innerWidth + "*" + window.innerHeight)
document.write("<br />")
document.write("Outer resolution: ")
document.write(window.outerWidth + "*" + window.outerHeight)
</script>

Writes:
"Inner resolution: 498*400
Outer resolution: 1024*800"

But that 800 is WITH toolbars too!
I tried "window.availHeight" but that didn't get anything.
Besides that (which is not a major deal)....

THANK YOU! ;D

IE offers no properties for getting the outer width/height, why I gave the inner . So your code will only work for browsers like NN4 +, FF

[BrotherHolmes]

aw, Does it give you the frame's width in IE too?

[Peter]

Which do you mean? outerWidth?

window.outerWidth won't work in IE at all, not for windows, or frames. You would need to use the way I posted, but if you don't want the scrollbars to be included in the width, you will need to take off between 16 - 20 pixels.

Neither work in the code I was using for IE.

The reason I asked in the first place is because I'm trying to make that banner width code that I was trying to get you to make for me, but never heard any more about it, so I thought I'd just study javascript myself and try making one.

Most people have their browsers maxed anyways right? I could just use screen.width

Just do a few banners for the screen width, don't worry about the size of the users window.

If you get me all the resolutions you want to cater for, then I will write you the script. Or you can attempt it yourself, just start with something like...

var theBanner;
switch(screen.width){
    case 1024 :
        theBanner = "URL to banner for this res";
        break;
    default :
        theBanner = "default banner to show, probably for 800 res users";
}

[BrotherHolmes]

Going by that code, would a 1280 get the default?

also,... Would I have to setup an array to change the first pic on the page, or is there a class set to the site's banner?

document.getElementsByTagName("img")[0].src = theBanner;
