Question

Geniuses, Is this possible? Please help as my jQuery javascripting is bad.

I need to get the height of a div, which is dynamically created (so has auto height by default) – the dynamic tweet content is also generated by javascript, which I hope isnt causing issues.

See my dynamic div…

<div id="tweet-area"></div>

I then need to plant the div#tweet-area height into the script below…

$("#sidebar-wrapper").css({ bottom: " + variable here + " });

So this was my attempt, but not its quite working…

var tweetheight = document.getElementById('tweet-area').offsetHeight;

$("#sidebar-wrapper").css({ bottom: " + tweetheight + " });

Any advice would be hugely helpful thanks.

UPDATE

This is the script that works – loaded after the tweet script

var tweetheight = $("#tweet-area").height();
$("#sidebar-wrapper").css({ bottom: tweetheight});

Thank you all!

Answer 1

maybe $("#sidebar-wrapper").css("bottom", tweetheight); would do it?

var tweetheight = $("#tweet-area").height();

Has worked for me in getting the height of an element ^
