When it comes to measuring div box dimensions, jQuery can be a handy tool. Here is an example code snippet:
$(document).ready(function(){
var h = $("#testbox").css("height");
});
Interestingly, the same code can give different results in different browsers - for example, in FF it gives me 270px, while in IE it returns 'auto'. Are you wondering how to measure the actual div height/width in IE without modifying its CSS? Let's find out!
