I am interested in retrieving the line height of an element; it's a simple task.
Here is a method that I know works:
console.log(document.getElementById("myDiv").style.lineHeight);
console.log($("#myDiv").css('lineHeight'));<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="myDiv" style="line-height:30px;">Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has
survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
</div>My main question is - can we obtain the line height of an element if the style is applied to the parent element?
console.log(document.getElementById("myDiv").style.lineHeight);
console.log($("#myDiv").css('lineHeight'));<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div style="line-height:30px;">
<div id="myDiv">Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It

It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
</div>
</div>Alternatively, how do we retrieve it if it's using the default value from the browser?
console.log(document.getElementById("myDiv").style.lineHeight);
console.log($("#myDiv").css('lineHeight'));<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>

</div>Despite jQuery providing the desired value, I specifically require a solution using javascript.
Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
