Window: outerHeight property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The Window.outerHeight read-only property returns the height in pixels of the whole browser window, including any sidebar, window chrome, and window-resizing borders/handles.

Notes

To change the size of a window, see window.resizeBy() and window.resizeTo().

To get the inner height of a window, i.e. the height of the page being displayed, see window.innerHeight.
