[jQuery] 1.2 bug? $(window).height(); always the same as $('body').height();

[jQuery] 1.2 bug? $(window).height(); always the same as $('body').height();


I have a page with content that goes below the fold.
I'm trying to calculate the height of the browser's viewable area this
way...
$(window).height();
...but it always returns the height of the whole page (above and below
the fold) - the same value as $('body').height();
Is this correct behavior?
For now, I'm using $.viewportHeight plugin to get by. I've searched
the forum, and can only find a couple of vague references to this
problem with no definitive answer.
Thanks!
