In IE, the HTML element (document.documentElement) is used for the 
viewport in standards mode (also known as "strict mode") and the body 
(document.body) is used in "quirks mode".

document.documentElement.clientHeight (in strict mode) may  output a 
slightly different value from document.body.clientHeight (in quirks mode).

Although you are supplying the HTML 5 Doctype (<!DOCTYPE HTML>), I can't 
see if the page is rendered in strict mode. Maybe this appMobi is doing 
something wrong.
