why is $(window).height() so wrong?

Question

I\'m trying to get the current browser viewport height, using

$(window).on(\'resize\',function() { 
  console.log(\"new height is: \"+$(window).height()); 
         


        

Answer 1

I have seen jQuery's $(window).height() returning a wrong value on Chrome mobile, even though my viewport and DOCTYPE declarations were in place. Eventually I used window.innerHeight.
