Bug 20569 – document.height is inconsistent with other browsers

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: CONFIGURATION CHANGED
• Component: DOM

document.height is inconsistent with Gecko (and other browsers don't support it)

In Firefox, it looks like:
  document.height = document.body.clientHeight

Whereas in Safari it looks like:
 document.height = max{window.innerHeight, document.body.clientHeight}

Since other browsers don't support document.height, I think WebKit should just match Gecko.

Note that the behavior of document.height is consistent in both strict and quirks mode (unfortunately the same can't be said for other document/body measurements).

In strict mode, only document.height differs between Firefox and Safari

In quirks mode, there are other differences between WebKit and Gecko. However document.height is still different in the same way

In all browsers now both below are same: 

document.height = undefined
document.width = undefined

I tested it in Safari 15.6, Chrome Canary 106 and Firefox Nightly 105. I think it might have been changed in Firefox or support was dropped but just wanted to share updated results. Since it is now same across all browsers, I think this can be marked as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED". Thanks!
