Netscape 6 load a page problem

[ASchweti]

Hi there,

I am using a little work around to get the "inner width" before the actual page loads. This is done by a PHP file wich sets a session variable. It's no problem, if you don't "speak" PHP in this case.

I call a js file which finds out the inner width. This js than loads a php file which does the job.

Everything works fine in IE5+ but unfortunately not in NS6. NS4 doesn't need to be supported. Here is the code to call the file including teh width variable.

document.open();
document.write("<script language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"/includes/save_width.php?width="+w+"\"></script>");
document.close();

Any idea, why this doesn't work?

Thanks for any ideas....

Regards ASchweti

you are missing the part that set the "w" variable. Probably you are setting it with document.body.clientWidth, or document.body.offsetWidth, which would work ok for IE.

but for netscape/mozilla, you need window.innerWidth.

so to set w, you would need something like:

var w = window.innerWidth ? window.innerWidth : document.body.offsetWidth ? document.body.offsetWidth : -1;

or something like that...
