I have a container div with the following CSS:

#container {
  position:relative;
  overflow:hidden;
  width:200px;
  height:200px;
}

Why does this:

alert('height is ' + $("#container").attr('height'));

Return that height is undefined?

Thanks.

    Try:

    $("#container").height()

    It is due to the height being in the css and not an actual attribute on the html tag.
