Hi,
don't know if it'll help you but I use:
//get the width of the window
var variable1 = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
//get the height of the window
var variable2 = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
//get the scroll position (top) -- scrollLeft is possible too
var variable3 = document.documentElement.scrollTop;
