I had this same problem a short time ago and went to the javascript source
website:-

http://javascriptsource.com

and had a look at some of the code used their and found the following:-
where they use

document.body.clientWidth;  and
document.body.clientHeight;

instead of

window.innerWidth  etc

which used to work for me under older browsers. Whether this is more or less
compatible than using:-

window.self.innerWidth etc

I don't know. Perhaps someone can throw some more light on this

example:-

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
<!--
function screenDetect () {
 var iw, ih; // Set inner width and height
 if (window.innerWidth == null) {
  iw = document.body.clientWidth;
  ih=document.body.clientHeight;
 }
 else {
  iw = window.innerWidth;
  ih = window.innerHeight;
 }
 document.write("SCREEN width="+screen.width+"<br>SCREEN
height="+screen.height+"<br>");
 document.write("WINDOW Width= "+iw+"<br>WINDOW Height= "+ih+"<br>");
}

// -->
</SCRIPT>
