You might find the properties of the window.screen object useful:

Property: height; value: 800
Property: width; value: 1280
Property: availHeight; value: 732
Property: availWidth; value: 1280
Property: colorDepth; value: 24
Property: top; value: 0
Property: left; value: 0
Property: pixelDepth; value: 24
Property: availLeft; value: 0
Property: availTop; value: 0

Output is from Firefox 2.0.0.8 on 32-bit SuSE Linux 10.2. I've no easy
way to see what the available properties are in MSIE, but you should be
able to determine these easily enough through introspection.
