Looks like you triggered a few thoughts in others!

The problem is:
User X loads your page with his browser taking only part of the
monitor. What will be the entire available canvas if the user maximize
the browser window?
AFAICT current JavaScript tools do not provide a solution for that.

As an esoteric mind game: a user with dual monitors carefully
stretching the window to the full extend from left to right instead of
just using "Maximize" option, so the browser takes both screens
instead of one. What would be that value in width and height? I don't
really care of such case from any practical point of view, but someone
has an insomnia... :-)

So I still would attribute your problem to
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets rather than to clj

Maybe you may make a 400x600 (600x800, ...) central image with borders
having some repetitive pattern. Then you could use an image with such
pattern as background-image for body, and the image itself as
background-image for div aligned on the page vertically and
horizontally.

I could play an "esoteric mind game" and give you this:

var maxSize = prompt("What is the maximum size, in pixels, that your
browser can be?")

But I won't. You seem to have figured out what at least two people have
been trying to tell you though. And it only took 11 posts.

Try sleeping pills. They don't work for me but might for you. As for the
browser stretching, you have forgotten virtual desktops as well. None of
which matter in the end. The simple point is that what the OP is wanting
to do in JS is a futile waste of effort.
