    Default Is there a decent, cross-browser way of finding the height in pixels of an element

    ... even if the element's height has been specified as a percentage or "auto?"

    I did find this experiment, although I can't decide what he is really trying to do:

    http://www.quirksmode.org/js/doctypes.html

    also there is this forum where someone asked the same question:

    http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread95629.html

    although these people don't seem so happy to be there.

    And then I found this one about div height... perhaps with a little magic you can customize it?

    Haha

    Of course I looked. But in fairness to me, it was 1:18AM.

    Noted. LOL I have had MANY days like that...

    I 'specially hate when I do some 36 to 76 hour coding stretches in Flash and get everything perfect and find it doesn't work... only to spend another 40 hours figuring out I missed a colon in one spot :P

    LOL
