I'm designing a web page that has boxes that you can click to make slide open and close. However, I don't know how to get the height of an element when it is defined in an external style sheet, or if it is 'auto'.
The problem is that I can't get the boxes to slide back to their original size. I have to make an argument in the function, and then guess what size the box actually is. This isn't desirable because the JavaScript functions I have made will be used in many parts of this project, and eventually, many parts of the page will be dynamic. Is there a way to determine the height of an element if it has a height of 'auto', or has the height residing in an external style sheet? |

Once you access the element, you can get its height using the offsetHeight property.
