I've got two tables on a web page, one on top, and one below which is inside
a div that has a vertical scroll bar.
with Javascript I want to size the top table to have the same width as the
div - the scroll bar width.

How do I determine what the scroll bar width is? I don't want to hardcode a
width as it is possible for a user to change it in windows.

there is no builtin measure of the scrollbar, you have to infer it. if you
put the tables in div's with the same border size and margin, you can set
the top table width to the second div's scrollWidth
