Do current DOM implementations having any methods to get the do***ent
true width and height?
By "true width" and "true height" I mean the real dimensions of a
do***ent, not just the current view****t size. Other words if a
do***ent 2200px width is displayed in browser where say 1020px are
visible in the browser window and to see other 1180px one needs to use
horizontal window scroll : I need to know that the do***ent is 2200px
width - not 1020 or something around.
From my quick tests and search currently DOM specs do not provide such
mechanics: contentWidth, offsetWidth etc. are all made to operate with
the current view****t but not with the do***ent itself.
I am on a time limit with a business project right now, so I cannot
spend as much time as I'd like to the TransModal project. Could anyone
either confirm my conclusion about the current DOM method or to prove
me wrong with some hint to a usable technique.
Such technique must be reliable working for
FF 2.x
IE 7.x
Highly desirable to have it adjustable to IE 6.x
It would be nice if it also will work with Opera 9.x and Safari 3.x
