Get Element Width/Height - getElementHeight() & getElementWidth()

The functions return the width or height of an object.

NOTE: This code will not work for images in Netscape 4.x. Use getImageWidth and getImageHeight instead.

The Code

function getElementHeight(Elem) {
	if (ns4) {
		var elem = getObjNN4(document, Elem);
		return elem.clip.height;
	} else {
		if(document.getElementById) {
			var elem = document.getElementById(Elem);
		} else if (document.all){
			var elem = document.all[Elem];
		}
		if (op5) { 
			xPos = elem.style.pixelHeight;
		} else {
			xPos = elem.offsetHeight;
		}
		return xPos;
	} 
}

function getElementWidth(Elem) {
	if (ns4) {
		var elem = getObjNN4(document, Elem);
		return elem.clip.width;
	} else {
		if(document.getElementById) {
			var elem = document.getElementById(Elem);
		} else if (document.all){
			var elem = document.all[Elem];
		}
		if (op5) {
			xPos = elem.style.pixelWidth;
		} else {
			xPos = elem.offsetWidth;
		}
		return xPos;
	}
}
