why is $(window).height() so wrong?
jquery
Solution
One possible reason may be that you are checking the console with firebug/ something else. So that you don't get window height correct due to firebug height.
You can try something like this:
take a span/div in you document:
<span id="res"></span>
and then
$(window).on('resize',function() {
$('#res').html("new height is: "+$(window).height());
});
Or if you want to check out put on firebug console then detach it from browser and then check the result.
Problem
I'm trying to get the current browser viewport height, using ``` $(window).on('resize',function() { console.log("new height is: "+$(window).height()); }); ``` But I'm getting values that are way too low. When the viewport is around 850px tall, I'm getting values around 350 or 400px from height(). What's up? Example: http://jsfiddle.net/forgetcolor/SVqx9/
