How can I get windowWidth, windowHeight, pageWidth, pageHeight, screenWidth, screenHeight, pageX, pageY, screenX, screenY which will work in all major browsers?
You can get the size of the window or document with jQuery:
// Size of browser viewport.
$(window).height();
$(window).width();
// Size of HTML document (same as pageHeight/pageWidth in screenshot).
$(document).height();
$(document).width();
For screen size you can use the screen object:
window.screen.height;
window.screen.width;
This has everything you need to know: Get viewport/window size
but in short:
var win = window,
doc = document,
docElem = doc.documentElement,
body = doc.getElementsByTagName('body')[0],
x = win.innerWidth || docElem.clientWidth || body.clientWidth,
y = win.innerHeight|| docElem.clientHeight|| body.clientHeight;
alert(x + ' × ' + y);

Please stop editing this answer. It's been edited 22 times now by different people to match their code format preference. It's also been pointed out that this isn't required if you only want to target modern browsers - if so you only need the following:
const width = window.innerWidth || document.documentElement.clientWidth ||
document.body.clientWidth;
const height = window.innerHeight|| document.documentElement.clientHeight||
document.body.clientHeight;
console.log(width, height);
Here is a cross browser solution with pure JavaScript (Source):
var width = window.innerWidth
|| document.documentElement.clientWidth
|| document.body.clientWidth;
var height = window.innerHeight
|| document.documentElement.clientHeight
|| document.body.clientHeight;
A non-jQuery way to get the available screen dimension. window.screen.width/height has already been put up, but for responsive webdesign and completeness sake I think its worth to mention those attributes:
alert(window.screen.availWidth);
alert(window.screen.availHeight);
http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/w3c_cssom.html#t10 :
availWidth and availHeight - The available width and height on the
screen (excluding OS taskbars and such).
But when we talk about responsive screens and if we want to handle it using jQuery for some reason,
window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight
gives the correct measurement. Even it removes the scroll-bar's extra space and we don't need to worry about adjusting that space :)

I am surprised that question have about 10 years and it looks like so far nobody has given a full answer (with 10 values) yet. So I carefully analyse OP question (especially picture) and have some remarks
center of coordinate system (0,0) is in the viewport (browser window without bars and main borders) top left corner and axes are directed to right and down (what was marked on OP picture) so the values of pageX, pageY, screenX, screenY must be negative (or zero if page is small or not scrolled)
for screenHeight/Width OP wants to count screen height/width including system menu bar (eg. in MacOs) - this is why we NOT use .availWidth/Height (which not count it)
for windowWidth/Height OP don't want to count size of scroll bars so we use .clientWidth/Height
the screenY - in below solution we add to position of top left browser corner (window.screenY) the height of its menu/tabls/url bar). But it is difficult to calculate that value if download-bottom bar appears in browser and/or if developer console is open on page bottom - in that case this value will be increased of size of that bar/console height in below solution. Probably it is impossible to read value of bar/console height to make correction (without some trick like asking user to close that bar/console before measurements...)
pageWidth - in case when pageWidth is smaller than windowWidth we need to manually calculate size of <body> children elements to get this value (we do example calculation in contentWidth in below solution - but in general this can be difficult for that case)
for simplicity I assume that <body> margin=0 - if not then you should consider this values when calculate pageWidth/Height and pageX/Y
function sizes() {
const contentWidth = [...document.body.children].reduce(
(a, el) => Math.max(a, el.getBoundingClientRect().right), 0)
- document.body.getBoundingClientRect().x;
return {
windowWidth: document.documentElement.clientWidth,
windowHeight: document.documentElement.clientHeight,
pageWidth: Math.min(document.body.scrollWidth, contentWidth),
pageHeight: document.body.scrollHeight,
screenWidth: window.screen.width,
screenHeight: window.screen.height,
pageX: document.body.getBoundingClientRect().x,
pageY: document.body.getBoundingClientRect().y,
screenX: -window.screenX,
screenY: -window.screenY - (window.outerHeight-window.innerHeight),
}
}
// TEST
function show() {
console.log(sizes());
}
body { margin: 0 }
.box { width: 3000px; height: 4000px; background: red; }
<div class="box">
CAUTION: stackoverflow snippet gives wrong values for screenX-Y,
but if you copy this code to your page directly the values will be right<br>
<button onclick="show()" style="">CALC</button>
</div>
I test it on Chrome 83.0, Safari 13.1, Firefox 77.0 and Edge 83.0 on MacOs High Sierra

You can also get the WINDOW width and height, avoiding browser toolbars and other stuff. It is the real usable area in browser's window.
To do this, use:
window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight properties (see doc at w3schools).
In most cases it will be the best way, in example, to display a perfectly centred floating modal dialog. It allows you to calculate positions on window, no matter which resolution orientation or window size is using the browser.
To check height and width of your current loaded page of any website using "console" or after clicking "Inspect".
step 1: Click the right button of mouse and click on 'Inspect' and then click 'console'
step 2: Make sure that your browser screen should be not in 'maximize' mode. If the browser screen is in 'maximize' mode, you need to first click the maximize button (present either at right or left top corner) and un-maximize it.
step 3: Now, write the following after the greater than sign ('>') i.e.
> window.innerWidth
output : your present window width in px (say 749)
> window.innerHeight
output : your present window height in px (say 359)
Complete guide related to Screen sizes
JavaScript
For height:
document.body.clientHeight // Inner height of the HTML document body, including padding
// but not the horizontal scrollbar height, border, or margin
screen.height // Device screen height (i.e. all physically visible stuff)
screen.availHeight // Device screen height minus the operating system taskbar (if present)
window.innerHeight // The current document's viewport height, minus taskbars, etc.
window.outerHeight // Height the current window visibly takes up on screen
// (including taskbars, menus, etc.)
Note: When the window is maximized this will equal screen.availHeight
For width:
document.body.clientWidth // Full width of the HTML page as coded, minus the vertical scroll bar
screen.width // Device screen width (i.e. all physically visible stuff)
screen.availWidth // Device screen width, minus the operating system taskbar (if present)
window.innerWidth // The browser viewport width (including vertical scroll bar, includes padding but not border or margin)
window.outerWidth // The outer window width (including vertical scroll bar,
// toolbars, etc., includes padding and border but not margin)
Jquery
For height:
$(document).height() // Full height of the HTML page, including content you have to
// scroll to see
$(window).height() // The current document's viewport height, minus taskbars, etc.
$(window).innerHeight() // The current document's viewport height, minus taskbars, etc.
$(window).outerHeight() // The current document's viewport height, minus taskbars, etc.
For width:
$(document).width() // The browser viewport width, minus the vertical scroll bar
$(window).width() // The browser viewport width (minus the vertical scroll bar)
$(window).innerWidth() // The browser viewport width (minus the vertical scroll bar)
$(window).outerWidth() // The browser viewport width (minus the vertical scroll bar)
Reference: https://help.optimizely.com/Build_Campaigns_and_Experiments/Use_screen_measurements_to_design_for_responsive_breakpoints
With the introduction of globalThis in ES2020 you can use properties like.
For screen size:
globalThis.screen.availWidth
globalThis.screen.availHeight
For Window Size
globalThis.outerWidth
globalThis.outerHeight
For Offset:
globalThis.pageXOffset
globalThis.pageYOffset
...& so on.
alert("Screen Width: "+ globalThis.screen.availWidth +"\nScreen Height: "+ globalThis.screen.availHeight)
If you need a truly bulletproof solution for the document width and height (the pageWidth and pageHeight in the picture), you might want to consider using a plugin of mine, jQuery.documentSize.
It has just one purpose: to always return the correct document size, even in scenarios when jQuery and other methods fail. Despite its name, you don't necessarily have to use jQuery – it is written in vanilla Javascript and works without jQuery, too.
Usage:
var w = $.documentWidth(),
h = $.documentHeight();
for the global document. For other documents, e.g. in an embedded iframe you have access to, pass the document as a parameter:
var w = $.documentWidth( myIframe.contentDocument ),
h = $.documentHeight( myIframe.contentDocument );
Update: now for window dimensions, too
Ever since version 1.1.0, jQuery.documentSize also handles window dimensions.
That is necessary because
$( window ).height() is buggy in iOS, to the point of being useless
$( window ).width() and $( window ).height() are unreliable on mobile because they don't handle the effects of mobile zooming.
jQuery.documentSize provides $.windowWidth() and $.windowHeight(), which solve these issues. For more, please check out the documentation.
I wrote a small javascript bookmarklet you can use to display the size. You can easily add it to your browser and whenever you click it you will see the size in the right corner of your browser window.
Here you find information how to use a bookmarklet
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet
Bookmarklet
javascript:(function(){!function(){var i,n,e;return n=function(){var n,e,t;return t="background-color:azure; padding:1rem; position:fixed; right: 0; z-index:9999; font-size: 1.2rem;",n=i('<div style="'+t+'"></div>'),e=function(){return'<p style="margin:0;">width: '+i(window).width()+" height: "+i(window).height()+"</p>"},n.html(e()),i("body").prepend(n),i(window).resize(function(){n.html(e())})},(i=window.jQuery)?(i=window.jQuery,n()):(e=document.createElement("script"),e.src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js",e.onload=n,document.body.appendChild(e))}()}).call(this);
Original Code
The original code is in coffee:
(->
addWindowSize = ()->
style = 'background-color:azure; padding:1rem; position:fixed; right: 0; z-index:9999; font-size: 1.2rem;'
$windowSize = $('<div style="' + style + '"></div>')
getWindowSize = ->
'<p style="margin:0;">width: ' + $(window).width() + ' height: ' + $(window).height() + '</p>'
$windowSize.html getWindowSize()
$('body').prepend $windowSize
$(window).resize ->
$windowSize.html getWindowSize()
return
if !($ = window.jQuery)
# typeof jQuery=='undefined' works too
script = document.createElement('script')
script.src = 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js'
script.onload = addWindowSize
document.body.appendChild script
else
$ = window.jQuery
addWindowSize()
)()
Basically the code is prepending a small div which updates when you resize your window.
In some cases related with responsive layout $(document).height() can return wrong data that displays view port height only.
For example when some div#wrapper has height:100%, that #wrapper can be stretched by some block inside it. But it's height still will be like viewport height. In such situation you might use
$('#wrapper').get(0).scrollHeight
That represents actual size of wrapper.
I developed a library for knowing the real viewport size for desktops and mobiles browsers, because viewport sizes are inconsistents across devices and cannot rely on all the answers of that post (according to all the research I made about this) : https://github.com/pyrsmk/W
Sometimes you need to see the width/height changes while resizing the window and inner content.
For that I've written a little script that adds a log box that dynamicly monitors all the resizing and almost immediatly updates.
It adds a valid HTML with fixed position and high z-index, but is small enough, so you can:
use it on an actual site
use it for testing mobile/responsive
views
Tested on: Chrome 40, IE11, but it is highly possible to work on other/older browsers too ... :)

setInterval( testSizes, 200 );
EDIT: Now styles are applied only to logger table element - not to all tables - also this is a jQuery-free solution :)
You can use the Screen object to get this.
The following is an example of what it would return:
Screen {
availWidth: 1920,
availHeight: 1040,
width: 1920,
height: 1080,
colorDepth: 24,
pixelDepth: 24,
top: 414,
left: 1920,
availTop: 414,
availLeft: 1920
}
To get your screenWidth variable, just use screen.width, same with screenHeight, you would just use screen.height.
To get your window width and height, it would be screen.availWidth or screen.availHeight respectively.
For the pageX and pageY variables, use window.screenX or Y. Note that this is from the VERY LEFT/TOP OF YOUR LEFT/TOP-est SCREEN. So if you have two screens of width 1920 then a window 500px from the left of the right screen would have an X value of 2420 (1920+500). screen.width/height, however, display the CURRENT screen's width or height.
To get the width and height of your page, use jQuery's $(window).height() or $(window).width().
Again using jQuery, use $("html").offset().top and $("html").offset().left for your pageX and pageY values.
here is my solution!
// innerWidth
const screen_viewport_inner = () => {
let w = window,
i = `inner`;
if (!(`innerWidth` in window)) {
i = `client`;
w = document.documentElement || document.body;
}
return {
width: w[`${i}Width`],
height: w[`${i}Height`]
}
};
// outerWidth
const screen_viewport_outer = () => {
let w = window,
o = `outer`;
if (!(`outerWidth` in window)) {
o = `client`;
w = document.documentElement || document.body;
}
return {
width: w[`${o}Width`],
height: w[`${o}Height`]
}
};
// style
const console_color = `
color: rgba(0,255,0,0.7);
font-size: 1.5rem;
border: 1px solid red;
`;
// testing
const test = () => {
let i_obj = screen_viewport_inner();
console.log(`%c screen_viewport_inner = \n`, console_color, JSON.stringify(i_obj, null, 4));
let o_obj = screen_viewport_outer();
console.log(`%c screen_viewport_outer = \n`, console_color, JSON.stringify(o_obj, null, 4));
};
// IIFE
(() => {
test();
})();
This how I managed to get the screen width in React JS Project:
If width is equal to 1680 then return 570 else return 200
var screenWidth = window.screen.availWidth;
<Label style={{ width: screenWidth == "1680" ? 570 : 200, color: "transparent" }}>a </Label>
Screen.availWidth
I have a background image and I have other images that need to stay at the bottom of the background image, even if the window resizes or there is a different screen size.
This is a ReactJS web app so any javascript or CSS will work.
CSS:
html {
background: url(imageInMemory.png) no-repeat center center fixed;
background-size: contain;
}
Javascript:
// I calculate the ratio for 'background-size: contain'
let A = window.innerWidth;
let B = window.innerHeight;
let W = naturalWidth; // Width of image, I have this hardcoded
let H = naturalHeight; // Height of image, I have this hardcoded
const ratio = Math.min((A/W), (B/H));// this is the ratio to which the image was scaled given the current window size.
// I position images on top of background images where they should be using this new ratio
<div style={{marginTop: ratio * H * .7}}>
<img src='otherImage'/>
</div>
This works on some window sizes, but sometimes the images will not be on top of the right area of the background Image.
I did a responsive layout for one image behind and a floating form resizing and repositioning all fields and texts.
I will not put all my code here, then i said to you create your own code inside a function named like "update_field_positions" running in events window resize and load.
For screens with more than 608px the height of my image is 882px
Then i define the reason of proportion: img_cadastro.clientHeight / 882
And use this value for resize and reposition all the items
I used css too:
#media screen and (max-width:608px) {
.img_cadastro {
width:100%;
height:auto;
}
and
#media screen and (min-width:608px) {
.img_cadastro {
width:608px;
height:882px;
}
A little piece of my working js code:
function update_field_positions() {
.... (some code) ....
var razao = img_cadastro.clientHeight / 882;
bloco_campos_ext.style.top = ((258 * razao) + compensador) + "px";
div_voucher.style.marginTop = ((57 * razao) + compensador_voucher) + "px";
div_voucher.style.marginLeft = ((120 * razao) + compensador) + "px";
nome_voucher.style.fontSize = (24 * razao) + "px";
cod_voucher.style.fontSize = (28 * razao) + "px";
resize_object(bloco_campos_ext, 357, 148, razao, false);
resize_object(bloco_campos_int, 357, 148, razao, false);
}
Use this css to your div:
position:fixed;
bottom:0;
For a responsive screen working when the windows is resized
Your codes of getting ratio and repositioning should be inside a function, you could create a function named update_field_positions for example: update_field_positions()
then your function must be called in 2 events, onload and window.resize
example:
function start() {
update_field_positions();
window.onresize = update_field_positions;
}
<body onLoad="start()">
Tou should use onload, for wait objects become ready before working with them to avoid errors and window.onresize to update values with a new window.innerWidth
The other problem is that the window can be resized to a smaller size than your image
And then you have to create some code to handle these situations:
if (window.innerWidth < naturalWidth) {...}
I was wondering how I could constantly get the current browser's height and width. Right now, I am using jQuery and have something like this:
var height = window.innerHeight;
var width = window.innerWidth;
This does initially work as it gets the screen when the page is loaded up. However, when the user changes the screen width/height manually, I can't seem to get the current dimensions and the page starts faulting with errors. How should I be checking the dimensions at all times? I've tried googling the answer but I can't seem to find anything applicable, though I'm sure many others have had the same issue (I don't think I'm searching up the right keywords!). Please let me know what I can do!! Thanks!
Use a window.onresize function as well as a window.onload handler to update the width and height variables.
(Resizeable Demo)
var width,height;
window.onresize = window.onload = function() {
width = this.innerWidth;
height = this.innerHeight;
document.body.innerHTML = width + 'x' + height; // For demo purposes
}
Using jQuery objects it would look like this.
(Resizeable Demo)
var width,height;
$(window).on('load resize', function() {
width = this.innerWidth; // `this` points to the DOM object, not the jQuery object
height = this.innerHeight;
document.body.innerHTML = width + 'x' + height; // For demo purposes
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
Try this:
$(window).on("resize",function(){
console.log($(this).height() + " " + $(this).width());
});
fiddle
Try this
var width = window.outerWidth;
var height = window.outerHeight;
To resize the current window, use
window.resizeTo(width, height);
You can trigger the resize function using:
$( window ).resize(function() {
//....
});
Hope it helps you
You can use this to detect a change in screen size:
$(window).resize(function() {
height = window.innerHeight;
width = window.innerWidth;
//other code you wish to run on screen size change;
});
This assumes that height and width were declared in a scope that the function has access to. Otherwise make sure to place var before each variable.
there's a lot of this question scattered over stackoverflow, but I can't seem to find an answer that specifically suits my situation.
I have made a background in HD 1920x1080 for a school project I'm making, and I'm trying to make it fit for every resolution there is. So what I did was resizing this image for every specific resolution, putting me in an awkward spot to code it, as I cannot use jQuery, I'm not allowed to.
I'm thinking of using the screen.width property, but I'd need a length too as I have multiple backgrounds with the ...x768 resoulution.
Is there anyone who'd be able to tell me how to change my body's background, depending on the user's height and width of the screen?
Thank you very much,
Michiel
You can use window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight to get the current dimensions of your browser's window.
Which means that if your browser takes half of your 1920x1080 desktop, it'll compute to something like:
window.innerWidth ~= 540
window.innerHeight ~= 1920 // actually something smaller because it doesn't count your browser's chrome
Your window can of course change size, and if you want to handle that, you can listen to the event "resize" for your window:
window.addEventListener('resize', function () {
// change background
});
To change the body's background without jQuery, you can do something like this:
document.body.style.backgroundImage = "url(/* url to your image...*/)";
To recap:
// when the window changes size
window.addEventListener('resize', function () {
var windowWidth = window.innerWidth; // get the new window width
var windowHeight = window.innerHeight; // get the new window height
// use windowWidth and windowHeight here to decide what image to put as a background image
var backgroundImageUrl = ...;
// set the new background image
document.body.style.backgroundImage = "url(" + backgroundImageUrl + ")";
});
I am not sure what browsers you are supposed to be compatible with. This should work in all latest versions of the big browsers.
You may check the window width and change the background depending on the results.
var width = window.innerWidth;
var height = window.innerHeight;
var body = document.body;
if (width <= 1600 && height <= 1000) {
body.style.background = "url(path/to/1600x1000.jpg)";
}
if (width <= 1400 && height <= 900) {
body.style.background = "url(path/to/1400x900.jpg)";
}
// continue as desired
http://jsbin.com/wosaduho/1/
Even better, use some media queries to reduce javascript required.
#media screen and (max-width: 1600px) {
.element {
background: url(path/to/1600x1000.jpg);
}
}
#media screen and (max-width: 1400px) {
.element {
background: url(path/to/1400x900.jpg);
}
}
body {
background-image: url(images/background.jpg);
background-size:cover;/*If you put "contain" it will preserve its intrinsic aspect ratio*/ background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Try this
You might want to trigger a function like the following on window load and/or on window resize:
function SwapImage(){
var w = Math.max(document.documentElement.clientWidth, window.innerWidth || 0),
h = Math.max(document.documentElement.clientHeight, window.innerHeight || 0),
el = document.getElementById('change-my-background');
// use conditionals to decide which image to show
if(w < 1200 && h < 800){
el.style.backgroundImage = "url('img_1200x800.png')";
}
if(w < 900 && h < 600){
el.style.backgroundImage = "url('img_900x600.png')";
}
// etc...
}
