gibson042 has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [cssom-view] Expose inner border dimensions == cf. https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/3589#issuecomment-289548410 There seems to be no good method for calculating the dimensions of an element's inner border edge (i.e., content area plus padding plus non-floating scrollbars). One can subtract computed border dimensions from `offsetWidth` or `offsetHeight` in the special case of a block-layout HTMLElement, but as far as I can tell it's otherwise impossible. I think the Element interface should expose something for such calculations, e.g. * `scrollGutterWidth`/`scrollGutterHeight` (the space lost to scrollbars), or * `scrollbarWidth`/`scrollbarHeight` (the scrollbar width), along with a method for identifying non-floating scrollbars, or * `fullClientWidth`/`fullClientHeight` (the dimensions of an inner border edge). The last one seems most consistent with the rest of CSSOM View. Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1129 using your GitHub account
