In IE you can use...
function calcheight(){
ourSpan.innerText = ourTable.offsetHeight;
}
I believe offsetHeight gives the correct height
including borders, cellspacing, and cellpadding.
Do a search in Google on offsetHeight and you
should come across a good example on the microsoft
site.
I also suggest getting a copy of MSDN from microsoft.
It is to developers what Technet is to Help Desk people.
They offer it as a free service on their site but
having your own copy installed locally can be much
nicer depending on your internet connection.

<script language="javascript">
function calcheight()
{
document.all.ourSpan.innerText = document.all.ourTable.height;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="calcheight();">
<table id="ourTable" border="1">
<tr><td>foo</td><td>bar</td></tr>
<tr><td>baz</td><td>zot</td></tr>
</table>
<br>
Height: <span id="ourSpan">?</span><br>
</body>
</html>
Is there any way to determine the height of this table without setting a
height="xx" in the <table> tag? I want to generate a table and then find
out how many pixels tall it is. Can I do this with JS/HTML/DHTML/etc?
Thanks!
