I have used jQuery library to find out height of a div.

Below is my div element with attributes :

<DIV id=myDiv style=height:auto; width:78;overflow:hidden> Simple Test</DIV>

Below is my jQuery code to get height of <div>

var result = $(#myDiv).css('height');

alert(result);

After executing above statement I am getting result as auto. Actually this is I am not expecting, instead of that I want the result in px dimension.

Use .height() like this:

var result = $(#myDiv).height();

There's also .innerHeight() and .outerHeight() depending on exactly what you want.

You can test it here, play with the padding/margins/content to see how it changes around.
