I was revisiting some old scripts I had written for determining the size
of the browser window (or things inside it) -- using clientWidth for IE
and innerWidth for Netscape / other. Like many scripts written for the
good old days, measuring seems to have changed as well.
Mark Wilton-Jones provides this rather frightening analysis
http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/tutorials/javascript/browserwindow of the
behavior of Opera, IE, and FF (various versions of each) in and out of
quirks mode. A quick text scan of the "editor's draft" of HTML5 at
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/ reveals no mention of either
clientWidth or innerWidth, so I'm wondering where this might be handled
if not in HTML itself?
Apologies if this has been discussed ad nauseum before; I may have been
napping.
The CSS WG is working on this:
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom-view/
Discussion "should" take place on [EMAIL PROTECTED] The draft will be
published as a W3C First Public Working Draft soonish, though this may be
after new year given the holidays and such.
