Obtaining size of the scrollbar

[Joel]

Is there anyway to obtain the width of the scrollbar? I've tried

var sb = document.body.offsetWidth-document.body.clientWidth ;

but this does not appear to be correct.

Thanks,
Joel

For which browsers? and which browser versions? and for which rendering
mode?
Does your question really matter if your webpage design is scalable?
