How do I get the size in Pixels of the current browser window in IE?

The problem for IE is that there is not equivalent for NN's 
window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight which is what, I assume, you 
have been using. This is not working for you in IE so you have to do 
something different. 
IE uses document.body.clientWidth and document.body.clientHeight to 
return the same as window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight. In this 
case, you can do with something like : 
if (document.body && document.body.clientWidth) {
  window.innerWidth = document.body.clientWidth;
  window.innerHeight = document.body.clientHeight;
}
This means you kan use the same property for both browsers without 
error. You can test this in IE by using 
alert(window.innerWidth);
alert(window.innerHeight);
Untested so watch out for typos, and if it fails to work, "I know 
nothing..nothing" ...
