[we] how do i get the size of the browser window?

[B***@public.gmane.org]

1, how does a web-app get the size of the browser window
within which it is being run, to resize its controls correctly?

2. what is the tip where i could have found this information
by myself, in the user-manual, without having to come here?

3. since it is my understanding that web-apps run on ipads
cannot be zoomed, are there any plans to fix that deficiency?

thank you for your assistance.

Have you checked webpage width and height properties?

yeah, nice try, christian.

webpage1.title=str(webpage1.width)+"*"+str(webpage1.height)

it works. it works just fine.

until/unless, that is, you resize the webpage.

which, per instructions in the past, at least,
is the only way to force scrollbars to appear,
to scroll a textarea longer than the webpage.

webpage1.title=str(webpage1.width)+"*"+str(webpage1.height)
webpage1.height=4000
webpage1.width=3000
webpage1.title=webpage1.title+_
" "+str(webpage1.width)+"*"+str(webpage1.height)

it works fine the _first_ time through the event.

the first reported size equals the browser-window (e.g., 823*572),
and the second reported size equals the new size (i.e., 4000*3000).

but on the next resize (and subsequent ones), you'll see it _still_
reports the _original_ size of the browser window (i.e., 823*572),
followed again (correctly) by the modified size (i.e., 4000*3000)...

so there's some messy confound between the size of the webpage
and the size of the browser-window which contains the webpage,
and it would probably be best to consider them separate entities...

yeah, um, i was looking for something more specific than that.
it's pretty easy for most people to get as far as "the main page".

well, i'm no longer a subscriber, so i don't believe that i can.

besides, i am more interested in an immediate workaround.

but thanks for your attempt to help on all 3 of my questions.
