height of page in javascript

Asked 2009-07-18T14:23:40.090

I'm unable to get the height of a page in javascript when the page is larger than the screen.

I thought this would get me the right height:

$(document).height();

but that only gets the height of the screen, same as:

$('body').height();

same as:

document.offsetHeight;

For some reason all these examples only return the height of the screen. Can somebody help?

If you're cool with using jQuery, what about getting the body or html height? like:

var winHeight = $('body').height();
