Re: [WSG] font sizing

Sat, 25 Sep 2004 20:32:37 -0700

When I use the following code to get the height of DIV that may of may not overflow, depending on the content, IE returns the larger height of DIV or contents. Whereas MZ and FF always returns the height of the DIV (100px). Is there a way to get MZ to return the height of the contents if the contents is larger than the height allocated to the DIV?

<script type="text/javascript">
  function sizer()
  {
     var obj = document.getElementById("myDiv").offsetHeight;
     alert(obj);
  }
</script>

<style type="text/css">
#myDiv {position:absolute; left:100px; top:100px; width:100px; height:100px;}
</style>

</head>

<body onload="sizer()">

<div id="myDiv">
