ll建议用document.documentElement代替document.body
IE6在页面内容超出窗口大小时将宽度属性scrollWidth、clientWidth、offsetWidth都解释为内容实际宽度。
上次的测试说明了document.body属性并不会给我们返回预期的结果，比如我们用document.body.clientHeight原本想取得“页面可见区域高度”，可实际上返回的是“页面实际内容高度”。
那我们怎么办呢？难道加上了文档DTD类型之后就再也不能取到“可见区域高度”和“内容实际宽度”等等属性了吗？

</html>其实，我们可以用document.documentElement代替document.body来获取我们想要的结果 将代码中的document.body替换为document.documentElement，再来看看各浏览器下的实际结果：
ii测试结果表明，IE系列浏览器对document.documentElement属性的解释是正确的，其它标准浏览器将offsetHeight解释成 了scrollHeight。火狐和netscape更是把这两个属性调换了过来。不过总的来说各属性都可以有个相应的解释，不会像 document.body一样只有可怜的两种解释。
终于可以放心地使用JS方法获取各种页面高宽属性了吧^_^!
