my computer screen width is 1280 but why IE says it's 1259 but other browsers say 1280 with widht();?

$(document).ready(function(){

});

Answer 1

window.width() doesn't give you the screen's width, but the current window's.

IE will always show a disabled scroll bar to the right of your document, even when it's not needed.

I assume it's that width that gets subtracted in IE.

Try using screen.availWidth to get the full screen width.

Answer 2

Use $(document).width()
