$(window).height() problem in opera 9.5

[michalhtm]

There is problem in opera 9.5 if the page is longer (scrollbars showed)

$(window).height()

returns

$(document).height()

I think repair to it is using

document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].clientHeight

(it shows correct value)

I had this problem on jQuery.ScrollTo.. and I think I fixed like this (next patch). Can you apply the past and re-test please ?

Just wanted to check on the status...I just ran into this issue and the suggested patch seems to resolve it.

That's great. Brandon is busy, but if you provide a test case where I see this patch actually working as expected, I'll commit it myself.

I put a simple page up that shows the fix in action:  http://www.ericmmartin.com/code/jquery/3117/

With Opera 9.5+

• Click before, click TEST. There is supposed to be a modal dialog, but because if the incorrect height value, it is not in the viewport. Click the overlay to close it, and see the incorrect height value being reported.

• Click after, click TEST. The dialog is now in the viewport and you will see the correct height being reported.

In any other browser, both pages behave the same way.
