How to get the height of the overall page using jquery

I tried:
$(document).height();
$("#body").height();
but it make doesn't give an exact value.

You are looking for the scroll height property
var el = document.body;
console.log(el.scrollHeight); // height with overflow
body {
height: 100vh;
}
.div {
height: 10000px;
}
<div class="div">
</div>

Check out the specs for the height function:
// Returns height of browser viewport
$( window ).height();
// Returns height of HTML document
$( document ).height();
The "height of the overall page" I interpret to be the size of the viewport. If you're looking for something a little more robust...
function getPageHeight ()
{
//If the content is smaller than the viewport, return the height
//of the screen. Otherwise, return the height of the content.
return Math.max ($(window).height (), $('body').height ());
}

Change position of div based on content & viewport height using jquery

I want to have a div be fixed at the bottom of the window when the window is taller than the content height. If the content height is taller than the window height, I want the div position to remain relative.
I currently have this mostly working, however I don't want the div to overlap the content at all. I tried various forms of below, but still not working:
var body = content+bottomBar
if (body > viewport) {
$(".bottom-bar").css({
'position':'relative'
});
} else {
$(".bottom-bar").css({
'position': 'fixed'
})
}
I also am having trouble getting the window.resize to work.
Any help would be appreciated!
http://jsfiddle.net/no05x1vx/1/

Referring to the jsfiddle linked by the OP, here are a few changes to make the code work as expected, please see the comments:
var content = $(".content").height()
var viewport = $(window).height();
// Use innerHeight here as the bottom-bar div has height 0 and padding 60px
// .height() would return 0
var bottomBar = $(".bottom-bar").innerHeight();
var body = parseInt(content)+parseInt(bottomBar)
$(window).on('resize', function(){
// Get new viewport height
viewport = $(window).height();
if (content > (viewport-bottomBar) ) {
$(".bottom-bar").css({
'position':'relative'
});
} else {
$(".bottom-bar").css({
'position': 'fixed'
})
}
});
// Trigger resize after page load (to avoid repeated code)
$(document).ready(function(){
$(window).resize();
});

set iframe height dynamically depending on content [duplicate]

I am loading an aspx web page in an iframe. The content in the Iframe can be of more height than the iframe's height. The iframe should not have scroll bars.
I have a wrapper div tag inside the iframe which basically is all the content. I wrote some jQuery to make the resize happen :
$("#TB_window", window.parent.document).height($("body").height() + 50);
where
TB_window is the div in which the Iframe is contained.
body - the body tag of the aspx in the iframe.
This script is attached to the iframe content. I am getting the TB_window element from the parent page. While this works fine on Chrome, but the TB_window collapses in Firefox. I am really confused/lost on why that happens.

You can retrieve the height of the IFRAME's content by using:
contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight
After the IFRAME is loaded, you can then change the height by doing the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
function iframeLoaded() {
var iFrameID = document.getElementById('idIframe');
if(iFrameID) {
// here you can make the height, I delete it first, then I make it again
iFrameID.height = "";
iFrameID.height = iFrameID.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + "px";
}
}
</script>
Then, on the IFRAME tag, you hook up the handler like this:
<iframe id="idIframe" onload="iframeLoaded()" ...
I had a situation a while ago where I additionally needed to call iframeLoaded from the IFRAME itself after a form-submission occurred within. You can accomplish that by doing the following within the IFRAME's content scripts:
parent.iframeLoaded();

A slightly improved answer to Aristos...
<script type="text/javascript">
function resizeIframe(iframe) {
iframe.height = iframe.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + "px";
}
</script>
Then declare in your iframe as follows:
<iframe onload="resizeIframe(this)" ...
There are two minor improvements:
You don't need to get the element via document.getElementById - as you already have it in the onload callback.
There's no need to set the iframe.height = "" if you're going to reassign it in the very next statement. Doing so actually incurs an overhead as you're dealing with a DOM element.
Edit:
If the content in the frame is always changing then call:
parent.resizeIframe(this.frameElement);
from within the iframe after the update. Works for same origin.
Or to auto detect:
// on resize
this.container = this.frameElement.contentWindow.document.body;
this.watch = () => {
cancelAnimationFrame(this.watcher);
if (this.lastScrollHeight !== container.scrollHeight) {
parent.resizeIframeToContentSize(this.frameElement);
}
this.lastScrollHeight = container.scrollHeight;
this.watcher = requestAnimationFrame(this.watch);
};
this.watcher = window.requestAnimationFrame(this.watch);

I found that the accepted answer didn't suffice, since X-FRAME-OPTIONS: Allow-From isn't supported in safari or chrome. Went with a different approach instead, found in a presentation given by Ben Vinegar from Disqus. The idea is to add an event listener to the parent window, and then inside the iframe, use window.postMessage to send an event to the parent telling it to do something (resize the iframe).
So in the parent document, add an event listener:
window.addEventListener('message', function(e) {
var $iframe = jQuery("#myIframe");
var eventName = e.data[0];
var data = e.data[1];
switch(eventName) {
case 'setHeight':
$iframe.height(data);
break;
}
}, false);
And inside the iframe, write a function to post the message:
function resize() {
var height = document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].scrollHeight;
window.parent.postMessage(["setHeight", height], "*");
}
Finally, inside the iframe, add an onLoad to the body tag to fire the resize function:
<body onLoad="resize();">

Add this to the iframe, this worked for me:
onload="this.height=this.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight;"
And if you use jQuery try this code:
onload="$(this).height($(this.contentWindow.document.body).find(\'div\').first().height());"

you could also add a repeating requestAnimationFrame to your resizeIframe (e.g. from #BlueFish's answer) which would always be called before the browser paints the layout and you could update the height of the iframe when its content have changed their heights. e.g. input forms, lazy loaded content etc.
<script type="text/javascript">
function resizeIframe(iframe) {
iframe.height = iframe.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + "px";
window.requestAnimationFrame(() => resizeIframe(iframe));
}
</script>
<iframe onload="resizeIframe(this)" ...
your callback should be fast enough to have no big impact on your overall performance

There are four different properties you can look at to get the height of the content in an iFrame.
document.documentElement.scrollHeight
document.documentElement.offsetHeight
document.body.scrollHeight
document.body.offsetHeight
Sadly they can all give different answers and these are inconsistant between browsers. If you set the body margin to 0 then the document.body.offsetHeight gives the best answer. To get the correct value try this function; which is taken from the iframe-resizer library that also looks after keeping the iFrame the correct size when the content changes,or the browser is resized.
function getIFrameHeight(){
function getComputedBodyStyle(prop) {
function getPixelValue(value) {
var PIXEL = /^\d+(px)?$/i;
if (PIXEL.test(value)) {
return parseInt(value,base);
}
var
style = el.style.left,
runtimeStyle = el.runtimeStyle.left;
el.runtimeStyle.left = el.currentStyle.left;
el.style.left = value || 0;
value = el.style.pixelLeft;
el.style.left = style;
el.runtimeStyle.left = runtimeStyle;
return value;
}
var
el = document.body,
retVal = 0;
if (document.defaultView && document.defaultView.getComputedStyle) {
retVal = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(el, null)[prop];
} else {//IE8 & below
retVal = getPixelValue(el.currentStyle[prop]);
}
return parseInt(retVal,10);
}
return document.body.offsetHeight +
getComputedBodyStyle('marginTop') +
getComputedBodyStyle('marginBottom');
}

Other answers were not working for me so i did some changes. Hope this will help
$('#iframe').on("load", function() {
var iframe = $(window.top.document).find("#iframe");
iframe.height(iframe[0].ownerDocument.body.scrollHeight+'px' );
});

Just in case this helps anyone. I was pulling my hair out trying to get this to work, then I noticed that the iframe had a class entry with height:100%. When I removed this, everything worked as expected. So, please check for any css conflicts.

I am using jQuery and the code below working for me,
var iframe = $(window.top.document).find("#iframe_id_here");
iframe.height(iframe.contents().height()+'px' );

You can refer related question here - How to make width and height of iframe same as its parent div?
To set dynamic height -
We need to communicate with cross domain iFrames and parent
Then we can send scroll height/content height of iframe to parent window
And codes - https://gist.github.com/mohandere/a2e67971858ee2c3999d62e3843889a8

Rather than using javscript/jquery the easiest way I found is:
<iframe style="min-height:98vh" src="http://yourdomain.com" width="100%"></iframe>
Here 1vh = 1% of Browser window height. So the theoretical value of height to be set is 100vh but practically 98vh did the magic.

All other answers are correct but what if the iframe has some dynamic content like a map that loads later and dynamically changes your iframe scroll height. This is how I achieved it.
var iFrameID = document.getElementById('idIframe');
intval = setInterval(function(){
if(iFrameID.scrollHeight == iFrameID.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight){
clearInterval(intval);
}else{
iFrameID.height = iFrameID.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + "px";
}
},500)
I simply wrap the code inside setInterval which matches the iframe scroll height with iframe content scroll height then clear the interval.

in my project there is one requirement that we have make dynamic screen like Alignment of Dashboard while loading, it should display on an entire page and should get adjust dynamically, if user is maximizing or resizing the browser’s window.
For this I have created url and used iframe to open one of the dynamic report which is written in cognos BI.In jsp we have to embed BI report. I have used iframe to embed this report in jsp. following code is working in my case.
<iframe src= ${cognosUrl} onload="this.style.height=(this.contentDocument.body.scrollHeight+30) +'px';" scrolling="no" style="width: 100%; min-height: 900px; border: none; overflow: hidden; height: 30px;"></iframe>

I found the answer from Troy didn't work. This is the same code reworked for ajax:
$.ajax({
url: 'data.php',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data)
{
// Put the data onto the page
// Resize the iframe
var iframe = $(window.top.document).find("#iframe");
iframe.height( iframe[0].contentDocument.body.scrollHeight+'px' );
}
});

To add to the chunk of window that seems to cut off at the bottom, especially when you don't have scrolling I used:
function resizeIframe(iframe) {
var addHeight = 20; //or whatever size is being cut off
iframe.height = iframe.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + addHeight + "px";
}

This one is useful when you require a solution with no jquery. In that case you should try adding a container and set a padding to it in percentages
HTML example code:
<div class="iframecontainer">
<iframe scrolling="no" src="..." class="iframeclass"width="999px" height="618px"></iframe>
</div>
CSS example code:
.iframeclass{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.iframecontainer{
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
padding-top: 61%;
}

The simple solution is to measure the width and height of the content area, and then use those measurements to calculate the bottom padding percentage.
In this case, the measurements are 1680 x 720 px, so the padding on the bottom is 720 / 1680 = 0.43 * 100, which comes out to 43%.
.canvas-container {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 43%; // (720 ÷ 1680 = 0.4286 = 43%)
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
.canvas-container iframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}

A slightly improved answer to BlueFish...
function resizeIframe(iframe) {
var padding = 50;
if (iframe.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight < (window.innerHeight - padding))
iframe.height = iframe.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight + "px";
else
iframe.height = (window.innerHeight - padding) + "px";
}
This takes in consideration the height of the windows screen(browser, phone) which is good for responsive design and iframes that have huge height.
Padding represents the padding you want above and below the iframe in the case it goes trough whole screen.

jQuery('.home_vidio_img1 img').click(function(){
video = '<iframe src="'+ jQuery(this).attr('data-video') +'"></iframe>';
jQuery(this).replaceWith(video);
});
jQuery('.home_vidio_img2 img').click(function(){
video = <iframe src="'+ jQuery(this).attr('data-video') +'"></iframe>;
jQuery('.home_vidio_img1 img').replaceWith(video);
jQuery('.home_vidio_img1 iframe').replaceWith(video);
});
jQuery('.home_vidio_img3 img').click(function(){
video = '<iframe src="'+ jQuery(this).attr('data-video') +'"></iframe>';
jQuery('.home_vidio_img1 img').replaceWith(video);
jQuery('.home_vidio_img1 iframe').replaceWith(video);
});
jQuery('.home_vidio_img4 img').click(function(){
video = '<iframe src="'+ jQuery(this).attr('data-video') +'"></iframe>';
jQuery('.home_vidio_img1 img').replaceWith(video);
jQuery('.home_vidio_img1 iframe').replaceWith(video);
});

Sample using PHP htmlspecialchars() + check if height exists and is > 0:
$my_html_markup = ''; // Insert here HTML markup with CSS, JS... '<html><head></head><body>...</body></html>'
$iframe = '<iframe onload="if(this.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight) {this.height = this.contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight;}" width="100%" src="javascript: \''. htmlspecialchars($my_html_markup) . '\'"></iframe>';

Script
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var height = $(window).height();
$('.myIframe').css('height', height - 200);
});
</script>
iframe
<iframe class="myIframe" width="100%"></iframe>
It's working in my case.

$(document).height() // - $('body').offset().top
and / or
$(window).height()
See Stack Overflow question How to get the height of a body element.
Try this to find the height of the body in jQuery:
if $("body").height()
It doesn't have a value if Firebug. Perhaps that's the problem.

just make iframe container position:absolute and iframe will automatically change its height according to its content
<style>
.iframe-container {
display: block;
position: absolute;
/*change position as you need*/
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
}
iframe {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
width: 100%;
background-color: #fff;
}
</style>
<div class="iframe-container">
<iframe src="http://iframesourcepage"></iframe>
</div>

Dynamically resize iframe

Situation:
I'm working on a responsive design that involves the typical HTML/CSS combo. Everything is working nicely except in one case where there is an iframe inside of a div. The iframe should adjust automatically to the size of the parent div. A purely css solution has not presented itself so I'm going with a JQuery approach. It works nicely except in one scenario, when resizing from a smaller width to a larger width screen.
HTML:
<div class="container">
<iframe class="iframe-class" src="http://www.cnn.com/"></iframe>
</div>
CSS:
.container {
width: 100%;
height: 250px;
}
.iframe-class {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
border: 1px solid red;
overflow: auto;
}
Javascript:
$(function () {
setIFrameSize();
$(window).resize(function () {
setIFrameSize();
});
});
function setIFrameSize() {
var ogWidth = 700;
var ogHeight = 600;
var ogRatio = ogWidth / ogHeight;
var windowWidth = $(window).width();
if (windowWidth < 480) {
var parentDivWidth = $(".iframe-class").parent().width();
var newHeight = (parentDivWidth / ogRatio);
$(".iframe-class").addClass("iframe-class-resize");
$(".iframe-class-resize").css("width", parentDivWidth);
$(".iframe-class-resize").css("height", newHeight);
} else {
// $(".iframe-class-resize").removeAttr("width");
// $(".iframe-class-resize").removeAttr("height");
$(".iframe-class").removeClass("iframe-class-resize");
}
}
http://jsfiddle.net/TBJ83/
Problem:
As the window is resized smaller, it continually checks the window width and once it hits < 480 px, the code adds a class called iframe-class-resize and sets the width and height to that class. As the window is resized larger, it removes the class once the size hits 480 px. The problem is that setting the width and height attributes adds them directly to the element and not the class itself. Therefore, removing the class does not remove the new width and heights. I tried to force removing the attributes using removeAttr() (commented out above) but that didn't work.
Anyone see where the code above went wrong? Or any suggestions on how to accomplish having a responsive iframe more effectively? The main things that are required are that the iframe has to be inside the <div></div> and the div may not necessarily have a width or height defined. Ideally, the parent div should have the width and height explicitly defined but the way this site is currently setup, that won't always be possible.
Additional:
In case the above wasn't clear enough, try the following to reproduce the issue:
Open up a browser on a desktop machine. I'm using Chrome on a Windows machine. Don't maximize the browser.
Open up the jsfiddle above (http://jsfiddle.net/TBJ83/). You'll notice that the iframe content spans the entire width of the Preview panel.
Manually resize the width down until the entire window is < 480px. At this point, the iframe content will be pretty tiny.
Manually resize the width back up until the entire window is >> 480px. The goal is to have that iframe content to regain the entire width of the Preview panel. Instead, the content is retaining the resized width and height since the .css() function applies css changes directly to elements rather than to the classes.
Thanks in advance!

You can do this in about 30 characters. Change:
$(".iframe-class").removeClass("iframe-class-resize")
to:
$(".iframe-class").removeClass("iframe-class-resize").css({ width : '', height : '' })
This will reset the width/height you applied to the element. When you use .css() you add whatever you pass-in to the style attribute of the element. When you pass a blank value, jQuery removes that property from the style attribute of the element.
Here is an updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/TBJ83/3/
EDIT
OK, here's something tweaked for performance (and just some other ways to do things):
$(function () {
//setup these vars only once since they are static
var $myIFRAME = $(".iframe-class"),//unless this collection of elements changes over time, you only need to select them once
ogWidth = 700,
ogHeight = 600,
ogRatio = ogWidth / ogHeight,
windowWidth = 0,//store windowWidth here, this is just a different way to store this data
resizeTimer = null;
function setIFrameSize() {
if (windowWidth < 480) {
var parentDivWidth = $myIFRAME.parent().width(),//be aware this will still only get the height of the first element in this set of elements, you'll have to loop over them if you want to support more than one iframe on a page
newHeight = (parentDivWidth / ogRatio);
$myIFRAME.addClass("iframe-class-resize").css({ height : newHeight, width : parentDivWidth });
} else {
$myIFRAME.removeClass("iframe-class-resize").css({ width : '', height : '' });
}
}
$(window).resize(function () {
//only run this once per resize event, if a user drags the window to a different size, this will wait until they finish, then run the resize function
//this way you don't blow up someone's browser with your resize function running hundreds of times a second
clearTimeout(resizeTimer);
resizeTimer = setTimeout(function () {
//make sure to update windowWidth before calling resize function
windowWidth = $(window).width();
setIFrameSize();
}, 75);
}).trigger("click");//run this once initially, just a different way to initialize
});

This can be done using pure CSS as below:
iframe {
height: 300px;
width: 300px;
resize: both;
overflow: auto;
}
Set the height and width to the minimum size you want, it only seems to grow, not shrink.

This is how I would do it, code is much shorter: http://jsfiddle.net/TBJ83/2/
<div class="container">
<iframe id="myframe" src="http://www.cnn.com/"></iframe>
</div>
<script>
$(function () {
setIFrameSize();
$(window).resize(function () {
setIFrameSize();
});
});
function setIFrameSize() {
var parentDivWidth = $("#myframe").parent().width();
var parentDivHeight = $("#myframe").parent().height();
$("#myframe")[0].setAttribute("width", parentDivWidth);
$("#myframe")[0].setAttribute("height", parentDivHeight);
}
</script>
I did it that way for read-ability, but you could make it even shorter and faster...
function setIFrameSize() {
f = $("#myframe");
f[0].setAttribute("width", f.parent().width());
f[0].setAttribute("height", f.parent().height());
}
One selector, so you only look through the DOM once instead of multiple times.

For those using Prestashop, this is how I used the code.
In the cms.tpl file I added the below code:
{if $cms->id==2}
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js?ver=1.3.2'></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src='../themes/myheme/js/formj.js'></script>
<div style="width: 100%; height: 800px;">
<iframe style=" width: 100%; height: 100%; border: overflow: auto;" src="https://cnn.com"></iframe>
</div>
{/if}
Then created a new js file: formj.js and added the below code:
$(function () {
//setup these vars only once since they are static
var $myIFRAME = $(".iframe-class"),//unless this collection of elements changes over time, you only need to select them once
ogWidth = 970,
ogHeight = 800,
ogRatio = ogWidth / ogHeight,
windowWidth = 0,//store windowWidth here, this is just a different way to store this data
resizeTimer = null;
function setIFrameSize() {
if (windowWidth < 480) {
var parentDivWidth = $myIFRAME.parent().width(),//be aware this will still only get the height of the first element in this set of elements, you'll have to loop over them if you want to support more than one iframe on a page
newHeight = (parentDivWidth / ogRatio);
$myIFRAME.addClass("iframe-class-resize").css({ height : newHeight, width : parentDivWidth });
} else {
$myIFRAME.removeClass("iframe-class-resize").css({ width : '', height : '' });
}
}
$(window).resize(function () {
//only run this once per resize event, if a user drags the window to a different size, this will wait until they finish, then run the resize function
//this way you don't blow up someone's browser with your resize function running hundreds of times a second
clearTimeout(resizeTimer);
resizeTimer = setTimeout(function () {
//make sure to update windowWidth before calling resize function
windowWidth = $(window).width();
setIFrameSize();
}, 75);
}).trigger("click");//run this once initially, just a different way to initialize
});

How to reliably get screen width WITH the scrollbar

Is there a way to reliably tell a browser's viewport width that includes the scrollbar, but not the rest of browser window)?
None of the properties listed here tell me the width of the screen INCLUDING the scrollbar (if present)

I figured out how to accurately get the viewport width WITH the scrollbar using some code from: http://andylangton.co.uk/blog/development/get-viewport-size-width-and-height-javascript
Put this inside your $(document).ready(function()
$(document).ready(function(){
$(window).on("resize", function(){
function viewport() {
var e = window, a = 'inner';
if (!('innerWidth' in window )) {
a = 'client';
e = document.documentElement || document.body;
}
return { width : e[ a+'Width' ] , height : e[ a+'Height' ] };
}
});
// Get the correct window sizes with these declarations
windowHeight = viewport().height;
windowWidth = viewport().width;
});
What it Does:
When your page is 'ready' or is resized, the function calculates the correct window height and width (including scrollbar).

I assume you want to know the viewport width with scrollbar included, because the screen it self does not have a scrollbar. In fact the Screen width and heigth will be the computer screen resolution itself, so I'm not sure what you mean with screen width with the scroll bar.
The viewport however, the area where only the page (and scroll bars) is presented to the user, meaning, no browser menus, no bookmarks or whatever, only the page rendered, is where such scroll bar may be present.
Assuming you want that, you can measure the client browser viewport size while taking into account the size of the scroll bars this way.
First don't forget to set you body tag to be 100% width and height just to make sure the measurement is accurate.
body {
width: 100%;
// if you wish to also measure the height don't forget to also set it to 100% just like this one.
}
Afterwards you can measure the width at will.
Sample
// First you forcibly request the scroll bars to be shown regardless if you they will be needed or not.
$('body').css('overflow', 'scroll');
// Viewport width with scroll bar.
var widthWithScrollBars = $(window).width();
// Now if you wish to know how many pixels the scroll bar actually has
// Set the overflow css property to forcibly hide the scroll bar.
$('body').css('overflow', 'hidden');
// Viewport width without scroll bar.
var widthNoScrollBars = $(window).width();
// Scroll bar size for this particular client browser
var scrollbarWidth = widthWithScrollBars - widthNoScrollBars;
// Set the overflow css property back to whatever value it had before running this code. (default is auto)
$('body').css('overflow', 'auto');
Hope it helps.

As long as body is 100%, document.body.scrollWidth will work.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/ThinkingStiff/5j3bY/
HTML:
<div id="widths"></div>
CSS:
body, html
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
div
{
height: 1500px;
}
Script:
var widths = 'viewport width (body.scrollWidth): '
+ document.body.scrollWidth + '<br />'
+ 'window.innerWidth: ' + window.innerWidth + '<br />';
document.getElementById( 'widths' ).innerHTML = widths;
I put a tall div in the demo to force a scroll bar.

Currently the new vw and vh css3 properties will show full size including scrollbar.
body {
width:100vw;
height:100vh;
}
There is some discussion online if this is a bug or not.

there is nothing after scrollbar so "rest of the window" is what?
But yes one way to do it is make another wrapper div in body where everything goes and body has overflow:none; height:100%; width:100%; on it, wrapper div also also has 100% width and height. and overflow to scroll. SO NOW...the width of wrapper would be the width of viewport
See Example: http://jsfiddle.net/techsin/8fvne9fz/
html,body {
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
.wrapper {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow: auto;
}

With jQuery you can calculate the browser's scrollbar width by getting the width difference when overflow: hidden is set and overflow: scroll is set.
The difference in width will be the size of the scrollbar.
Here is a simple example that shows how you could do this.

You can get the window width with scrollbar , that way:
function scrollbar_width() {
if (jQuery('body').height() > jQuery(window).height()) {
/* Modified from: http://jdsharp.us/jQuery/minute/calculate-scrollbar-width.php */
var calculation_content = jQuery('<div style="width:50px;height:50px;overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:-200px;left:-200px;"><div style="height:100px;"></div>');
jQuery('body').append(calculation_content);
var width_one = jQuery('div', calculation_content).innerWidth();
calculation_content.css('overflow-y', 'scroll');
var width_two = jQuery('div', calculation_content).innerWidth();
jQuery(calculation_content).remove();
return (width_one - width_two);
}
return 0;
}

Check out vw: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-values/#viewport-relative-lengths
body {
width: 100vw;
}

This is my solution for removing the 'scrollbar shadow', because scrollWidth didn't work for me:
canvas.width = element.offsetWidth;
canvas.height = element.offsetHeight;
canvas.width = element.offsetWidth;
canvas.height = element.offsetHeight;
It's easy, but it works. Make sure to add a comment explaining why you assign the same value twice :)
