[Javascript] Resizing browser window

[Troy III Ajnej]

These are the measures that my pilot-probe-object is reporting for the width of client area in the following 
browsers on Windows platform:
 
 
Browser:  Explorer 6 Navigator 8 Opera 9  Firefox 1.5
 
-------BROWSER MAXIMIZED-------
my screen 1920  1920  1920  1920 px--------------scrl Off -1916  -1920  -1914  -1920scrl on  -1900  -1904  -1898  -1904----------------------------------------------------------------------------delta off -4  -0  -6  -0delta on -20  -16  -22  -16
 
 
-------BROWSER RESTORED-------Window 1/2   960  960  960  960 px--------------scrl off 948  952  946  952scrl on  932  936  930  936-----------------------------------------------------------------------------delta off 12  8  14  8  delta on 28  24  30  24
 
-------BROWSER RESTORED-------Window 1/3   640  640  640  640 px--------------scrl off 628  632  626  632scrl on  612  616  610  616-----------------------------------------------------------------------------delta off 12  8  14  8delta on 28  24  30  24
 
 
So this means that scrollbars are always 16 pixels by windows default settingsVariabile is the space used by window borders:
 
SCROLLBARS OFF
IE when Maximized takes 4 px for the border
NN takes null
Op takes 6
Fx takes null
 
[and these are the values of your interest]
Restored 
IE=12
NN=8
OP=14
Fx=8
*These results are scientifically exact*
Sorry about Safari I don't have it. 
And hope this is what you asked for ;)
Now you do the math...
