Marc,
It is pretty trivial to use JavaScript to 'measure' the height of a
window / viewport - you should be able to find plenty of articles that
describe the details, if you Google carefully. From what I remember, all
browsers will give you this data in pixels, regardless of how the
element you are measuring is defined.
I presume that the 'five ems' bit is to compensate for the height of
the element you want to move? If so, you need to also measure the height
of that element directly. If not, you probably need to fake such an
element, as I don't think the browser will have any way of telling you
big an em is at any one point on screen, and after all it will vary
depending on where you are.

I need to get the height of a window minus five ems expressed
in pixels,
so that I can slide a layer up and down. How do I capture this data?
