in order to get the browser's screen height,

window.innerHeight in js and $(window).height() in jquery is used.

i have a modal(popup) which i calculate and refresh it's position(i make it center aligned) when it's inner html is changed.

so first i need to compare the modal's new height to the browser screen's height before positioning.

Problem: the problem i have is that when the browser's console is open, the code above doesn't give me the browsers screen height, i gives a much less number

browser height is less when console is opened
