document.body is not the top level element.
document.documentElement is:
$(document.documentElement).getDimensions();
The fun part starts with quirks mode, when document.body acts as
document.documentElement.
You could check for such case easily:
var isBodyRoot = (function(){
var docEl = document.documentElement;
return !!(docEl && docEl.clientWidth == 0);
})();
It also makes sense to get Math.max of viewport and documentElement/
body values.
