Jed,
forgot to say that you probably have to wrap those alert inside a
"readystatechange" for IE or similar for other browsers.
You have to wait for all the elements to be loaded in the parent
window before getting dimensions.
Here is the code I used to test:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.parent.document.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (window.parent.document.readyState == 'complete') {
alert( $( window.parent.document ) );
// CORRECT: alerts "[object Object]"
alert( $( window.parent.document.body ).height() );
// CORRECT: alerts "154"
alert( $( window.parent.document ).height() );
// ERROR: "Could not convert JavaScript argument arg 0"
alert( $( window.parent ).height() );
// ERROR: "Could not convert JavaScript argument arg 0"
}
};
</script>
</head>
</html>
And it seems to me something is wrong with the numbers I get. As said
above a full review of that code part is needed.
