Getting div height

Question

Firebug tells me the computed style of my_div:

width 300px

height 453.167px

Yet when I execute console.log(mydiv.style.height), it gives me an empty string, even though console.log(mydiv) logs the correct element. I am sure the page has loaded by the time this logging code is called. I'd appreciate a solution that does not use jQuery.

Answer 1

Depending on the browser of choice, one of these will do:

mydiv.offsetHeight
mydiv.clientHeight
