var height = someElementReference.offsetHeight; and to set it: someElementReference.style.height = "100"; It is worth saying that offsetHeight and offsetWidth are non-standard compliance. They will give you the total rendering height and this will cause problems in IE since they use a different box model than FireFox. So you will have to do some height juggling in IE if you are using padding, margins, or borders. (read up on the box model problem if you are wondering about it...) For setting the height, this is a CSS declaration and can use any valid CSS value. The default is pixels but you can use other such as em.

Code from prototype:
getHeight: function(element) {
element = $(element);
return element.offsetHeight;
},
One can use this function and if there ever is a standard (which there probably
won''t since the W3C is against any and all post render calculation
standards) this function would effectively update your API once prototype is
enhanced to accept the change. Either way, I say learn how it works, then use
the API.
Thank you Matt for pointing out that function, I didn''t know it
existed.

Quick run through by opening prototype.js and doing a search for setHeight found nothing.

One thing to keep in mind is that offsetHeight and offsetWidth do not work with absolutely or relatively positioned elements in IE. So, if you want to get the height and have it positioned, apply the positioning via javascript, after you capture the height. Not sure if you need that, but it''s something I''ve discovered through many frustrating hours of yelling at IE, so I thought I''d save you the pain in advance :) Greg

I am not sure, but doing 1) set visibility="hidden" then 2) display="block" 3) alter widths/heights if needed, then 4) visibility="visible" might work if you are trying to avoid visible resizing. Not sure though, just a passing thought if you have time to investigate. I''ll queue it on my list of things to look into though. -Andrew Martinez -----Original Message----- From: rails-spinoffs-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org [mailto:rails-spinoffs-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org] On Behalf Of Martinez, Andrew Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 12:05 PM To: rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org Subject: RE: [Rails-spinoffs] how to use Effect.BlindUp for resizing a div>IE 6 - if you are, then maybe there is some extra factor that I''m not >considering.

My > values are usually in explicit pixels or em''s.Nope, I am not. I guess that''s the difference. I was using it to determine the size of an item being dragged so I could scroll the window whenever the dragged item moved outside the currently scrolled area (instead of basing it on the position of the mouse). I had to drop the idea because there was no way to get IE to do it. Greg
