window.innerHeight ie8 alternative

Question

I have some calculations that rely on window.innerHeight. But as I have found out this is not available in any IE before IE9. All the other options I have looked at don't even come close to the figure I get when I use window.innerHeight.

Does anybody have a work around?

Answer 1

You might want to try:

document.documentElement.clientHeight; 

Or can use jQuery's .height() method:

$(window).height();
