I cut and paste some sample code from the Google maps API documentation that uses an OverlayView so one can access the built-in MapCanvasProjection methods ( fromLatLngToContainerPixel() and fromLatLngToDivPixel() ) in order to convert from Lat/Lon to container pixel and back again ... great ...
The code is shown below and is simple enough, and works at all zoom levels UNTIL the map projection begins to wrap (at zoom levels below 2). I understand that the projection is wrapping, but is there a mathematical method for calculating the map container size WITHOUT THE USE OF JQUERY OR OTHER EXTERNAL LIBRARIES???
Ideally, I just wanted to use the objects and methods supplied by the Google maps API to convert from Lat/Lon to pixel coordinates (within the map container) -- but how to deal with the projection wrapping? if someone can advise, that would be great !

Or simpler:
var w = map.getDiv().offsetWidth;
var h = map.getDiv().offsetHeight;
where map is the MapClass instance

If you just want the pixel dimensions of the map container, you don't need the Maps API at all. The container element's offsetWidth and offsetHeight properties have the values you're looking for.
In your example, you could use:
var container = document.getElementById('map-canvas');
var width = container.offsetWidth;
var height = container.offsetHeight;
