Hi,
To get the height of my DIV, I do :

myDivElement.style.height, which returns "176px". I don't want that. I
want to get 176. How could I do that, which property should I use? (I
could do a string parsing, but what a pain....)

Thanks

There is no property which would return you just the number, you will
have to do string parsing. One way of doing this could be the
following:

//assuming you have your element

var height = myDiv.style.height;
height = height.split("px")[0];

Thanks for the reply. I thought I could avoid having to do that... ok
then.

valueWithoutPX = parseInt(valueWithPX,10);

Use the offsetWidth and offsetHeight properties. They are properties
of the element, not the elements style node.

var theDiv = document.getElementById("theDiv");
var width = theDiv.offsetWidth;
var height = theDiv.offsetHeight;

That works in IE6 and Firefox. I haven't tested it in other browsers.
