[Javascript] Strange problem with getting a <table> tag's .offsetHeight property.

[Troy III Ajnej]

I might be wrong but
I suspect that this visual mismatch is being caused by pixel aspect ratio ?!
I have a hunch that widescreen display is being achieved by the change on PAR.
 
Try multiplying the offsetlHeight with const.val. of: 1.333333333333 and see what comes up on wide screen monitor.
