HELP tricky DIV height from dynamic content div

ahhggg

Ok I have a div in an HTML and the contents of that div is dynamic... a script populates the data inside the div.

I NEED to get the height of that div with the dynamic content and there seems to be no way I can get this. Below is my code both HTML and Javascript:

<html>
<body>
<div id="mydiv"> ---- in here data is populated using PHP scripting --- </div>

<script>
div_height = ocument.getElementById('mydiv').offsetHeight ;
</script>

</body>
</html>

I tried to use .offsetHeight, .height, .contentHeight and they ALL return a ZERO. Dont forget that the data inside the <div> is populated dynamically so the height of the div will change. Is there any way to get the height of that div after the data gets populated?

Thank you in advance

Nate

Don't know if this is just a typo while you were posting it, but you seem to be missing the "d" from the word "document"

You might also try an onload event.

HTML Code:

   <html>
<head>
   <script>
      function getdivoffset(){
         div_height = document.getElementById('mydiv').offsetHeight;
      }
   </script>
</head>
<body onload="getdivoffset()">
   <div id="mydiv"> ---- in here data is populated using PHP scripting --- </div>
</body>
   </html>

It could be executing the script before the div finishes loading.

Or it could definitely be the missing "d"
