document.body.scrollHeight yielding two different results in firefox/chrome

Question

I am trying to get access to the height of the entire page (including scrolling). In chrome, document.body.scrollHeight does this. In firefox, this doesn't work... what is the equivalent in firefox?

Answer 1

definitely start using jquery, accessing $(document).height() will do all the browser checks for you.

http://api.jquery.com/height/

Answer 2

You can use jquery to do this without browser problem.

User jQuery $(document).height() and $(document).scrollTop() functions
