Menu
I'm sure there is a simple error I'm making, but I am simply alerting $(window).height() and it returns the same value as $(document).height().
I am on a 13" MBA and my window height of my browsers when maximised between 780px - 820px (roughly) but each time it returns a window height identical to that of document height. In every case on the site I am working on it is over 1000px.
What is going on here?
alert($(window).height()); alert($(document).height());

jQuery height() Method The height() method sets or returns the height of the selected elements. When this method is used to return height, it returns the height of the FIRST matched element. When this method is used to set height, it sets the height of ALL matched elements.
This method is also able to find the height of the window and document. $( document ). height();
To get the height of a document, we can get the max of the scrollHeight , offsetHeight , or clientHeight properties. The document can be stored in the document. body or document. documentElement properties depending on the browser used.
Answer: Use the JavaScript height() method You can set the height of a <div> box dynamically using the jQuery height() method.
With no doctype tag, Chrome reports the same value for both calls.
Adding a strict doctype like <!DOCTYPE html> causes the values to work as advertised.
The doctype tag must be the very first thing in your document. E.g., you can't have any text before it, even if it doesn't render anything.
