Visible window height instead of $(window).height();

Question

Is there any way to get the visible height of the whole page from inside an iframe, $(window).height() gives me the iframes height?

Answer 1

I have always used this implementation

window.innerHeight or document.body.clientHeight or document.documentElement.­clientHeight depending on the browser.

But i don't see why jquery's $(window).height() wont work for your visible height ?
