The offsetHeight property indicates the height of the visible area for an element. It's a shorthand that contains the sum of dimensions from padding, scrollbars and borders.

However, it can't be used to change the actual size and as noted in comments, offsetHeight is a property of an element, not style.

To modify the actual size use height, padding or border.
