Rails - May 2006 - prototype getHeight safari

Hi

I have a weird bug with getHeight or getDimensions().hegiht  
(prototype) only on safari
if I have a html file like this
<div id="test"></div>

and a embedded css

<style>
#test {
   width:100px;
   height:100px;
   float:left;
}
</style>

In Safari $(''test'').getHeight returns 100, fine but if the css
declaration #test.. is in a css file included by a <link  
href="stylet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
></link>
The height is 0!!

Is it something known, is there a workaround?
Thanks
Seb

Since your height is defined in the css and not inline, it''s not an
page
attribute that your javascript can read.

if you did:

<div id="thething" style="height:
100px;">thing</div>

it would work. In this case you could do:

height = $(''thething'').getHeight;

This is not just a Safari issue.

Thx!

Hmmm. didn''t actually know what getHeight did so I looked it up, that 
function returns the offsetHeight of an element, not the height defined 
by your css (thing.style.height).

you could do: $(''thething'').style.height; instead.
