You might try document.documentElement.clientHeight . A while ago I found 
out that when you use a DOCTYPE in IE6, several properties of document.body 
are copied to document.documentElement (and their values changes slightly, 
too).

But this is a much more complex matter than I thought at first (I thought 
they would *only* be accessible through document.documentElement, which is 
not true). Let me know if this helps.
