In the v4.6.0 JavaScript reference documentation, there is two properties for the Window object : innerWidth and innerHeight (available since v3.8).

But, when i try to read it in v4.6.0 Blackberry simulator, these properties don't exist (window.innerWidth undefined).

Does these properties really exist ?

I would like to position an iframe in the upper right corner of the browser display area. I set iframe position to fixed.

How could i know the browser display area height and width ?

Thanks

Please verify that JavaScript has been enabled.  You can set this by opening the browser, selecting Options from the menu, then Browser Configuration.  You can enable/disable JavaScript from there.

Yes, Javascript is enabled. And if I execute this code :

for (var i in window)

alert(i);

I see all window properties but not innerWidth and innerHeight.

I have been able to reproduce this in the version 4.6.0 BlackBerry Simulator.  However, it appears that the issue has been resolved as these properties do work in the version 4.7.0 BlackBerry Simulator.

Its fine and good that this works in 4.7, but what can we do in 4.6? screen.availHeight isn't usable here because it does NOT exclude the "banners".

The space consumed by the banner(s) depends on the OS version and is also controlled by a user setting (they can toggle it by using the "u" shortcut). This is made worse in the AT&T build (v4.6.0.297 platform 4.0.0.247) because the MediaNet browser includes a "ATT" bar on the bottom where the Hotspot browser does NOT - so we can't even use navigator.userAgent to determine the right hard coded value.

Let me fine tune this a bit.

window.innerHeight is

undefined in v4.6.0.297 platform 4.0.0.247 (on Bold) BUT

defined in v4.6.1.231 platform 4.2.0.108 (on Curve).

The Curve also correctly excludes the "banner" from the height.

The Tour (4.7.1.40 platform 4.1.0.40) also correctly excludes the banners from window.innerHeight.

Of the phones that concern us only the Bold includes the banners in the height calculations. Other than hard coding for the presence of the banners is there a workable solution for the Bold running 4.6?
