Browsers don't provide height/width information for elements when they're display: none (or within a display: none element). There is no workaround for it - other than making the element not display: none. Sorry :-/
Naturally, if an alternative is ever developed for retrieving the height/width of a display: none element that doesn't involve toggling its display we'll happily switch to it. --John On Wed, Jan 6, 2010 at 6:53 PM, average_user <bht...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I noticed that in the nightly builds, the function jQuery.swap() is > still used internally in the jQuery.css() function to get the > dimensions of an element. > > It hurts to see this unbelievable hack, apart from the obvious > consequences: http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/5743 > > This function is used internally only once, and one CAN get the > required attributes without using jQuery. > > I repeat this for clarity: This hack temporarily updates the DOM just > to read an attribute. > > I hope that this has just been overlooked somehow. > > If, on the other hand, it is considered safe to do this, than a bugs > should be filed against all browsers that cannot cope with it.
