Question

I have a table in HTML code.

I need to get height of that table using JavaScript, so

alert(document.getElementById('myTable').clientHeight);

returns a correct value in IE, but always returns 0 in FF.

How can I get the height of the table in Firefox?

Thanks!

MDC says:

clientHeight is a non-standard, HTML-specific property introduced in the Internet Explorer object model.

In Firefox, the offsetHeight property contains the current pixel height of an element, so you can use something like:

var theHeight = element.clientHeight || element.offsetHeight;
