Analyze the viewport size with JavaScript
Raw
viewport.txt
It’s possible to analyze the viewport size in JavaScript but it’s a little messy:
- Most browsers support `window.innerWidth` and `window.innerHeight`.
- But IE6, 7, 8 and 9 in quirks mode require `document.body.clientWidth` and `document.body.clientHeight`.
- All the main browsers support `document.documentElement.clientWidth` and `document.documentElement.clientHeight` but it’s inconsistent.
Either the window or document dimensions will be returned depending on the browser and mode.
