OK but in this page I found:

var winWidth, winHeight, d=document;
if (typeof window.innerWidth!='undefined') {
winWidth = window.innerWidth;
winHeight = window.innerHeight;
} else {
if (d.documentElement &&
typeof d.documentElement.clientWidth!='undefined' &&
d.documentElement.clientWidth!==0) {
winWidth = d.documentElement.clientWidth;
winHeight = d.documentElement.clientHeight;
} else {
if (d.body &&
typeof d.body.clientWidth!='undefined') {
winWidth = d.body.clientWidth;
winHeight = d.body.clientHeight;
}
}
}

To try I add:

alert(winWidth);
alert(winHeight);

Impossible to say without knowing how big a screen area you gave the
respective browser windows. Just count the pixels yourself in each
browser window and compare your result with the browser's output.

In my experience, MSIE leaves out the space required by the vertical
scrollbar, even if it's not visible, giving you the width minus the
scrollbar width. Opera, Firefox and Safari give you the actual visible
width.
