"""...
The Element.scrollWidth read–only property returns either the width in pixels of the content of an element or the width of the element itself, whichever is greater. If the element is wider than its content area (for example, if there are scroll bars for scrolling through the content), the scrollWidth is larger than the clientWidth.

This property will round the value to an integer. If you need a fractional value, use element.getBoundingClientRect().

"""...
the scrollbar is a feature of the browser and not the web page self.
Measurement should be done dynamically.

will resolve into calculating the difference in width.

the width of the scrollbar is not standard and
varies from system to system and browser to browser
