How do I determine height and scrolling position of window in jQuery?

Question

I need to grab the height of the window and the scrolling offset in jQuery, but I haven't had any luck finding this in the jQuery docs or Google. I'm 90% certain there's a way to access height and scrollTop for an element (presumably including the window), but I just can't find the specific reference.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Answer 1

$(window).height()

$(window).width()

there is also a plugin to jquery to determine element location and offsets

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/dimensions

scrolling offset = offsetHeight property of an element

Answer 2

From jQuery Docs:

var height = $(window).height();
var scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();

http://docs.jquery.com/CSS/scrollTop
http://docs.jquery.com/CSS/height

Answer 3

$("body").height()

Answer 4

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

$(window).height();   // returns height of browser viewport
$(document).height(); // returns height of HTML document

from http://api.jquery.com/scrollTop/

$(window).scrollTop() // return the number of pixels scrolled vertically
