Hi have tried all of these:
document.body.scrollHeight
document.body.offsetHeight
document.documentElement.clientHeight
document.documentElement.scrollHeight
document.documentElement.offsetHeight
These work in a normal browser but in Phantomjs I get the CMD (command-line window) height.. I want to get the height so that I can crop a screenshot later in the code.. and the height of the page must be as it is being viewed on a normal browser
I'm getting 300 pixels and I want to get the full html page height (that varies dependent on the URL)..
Those values provide the expected values as with other browsers. Full example:
var page = require('webpage').create();
var url = 'http://www.stackoverflow.com/';
page.open(url, function(){
console.log(page.evaluate(function(){
return JSON.stringify({
"document.body.scrollHeight": document.body.scrollHeight,
"document.body.offsetHeight": document.body.offsetHeight,
"document.documentElement.clientHeight": document.documentElement.clientHeight,
"document.documentElement.scrollHeight": document.documentElement.scrollHeight
}, undefined, 4);
}));
phantom.exit();
});
Output:
{
"document.body.scrollHeight": 8777,
"document.body.offsetHeight": 8777,
"document.documentElement.clientHeight": 300,
"document.documentElement.scrollHeight": 8777
}
Reasons why it might not be the case for your:
- The DOM is only accessible through
page.evaluate()
. There exists a document
object outside of page.evaluate()
, but it is only a dummy.
- PhantomJS has a default viewport of 400x300 pixels. If the web page is responsive, then it will only use this size.
- Together with the point above, the
<body>
may not be scrollable, but only some child element that has all the (scrollable) content. In which case every value is equal to the viewport height.
