        // description of your code here

..normally


var h = document.documentElement.scrollHeight;


..however in some cases (safari 3) you may have to find where something is on the screen and generate the actual screen size around that

if (($('lightbox_bottom').cumulativeOffset().top+30) > document.documentElement.scrollHeight) {
  $('sBg').style.height=$('lightbox_bottom').cumulativeOffset().top+30+'px';
}
else {
  $('sBg').style.height=document.documentElement.scrollHeight+'px';
}


30 being the height of the bottom element your using to judge.
