Can i check height?

[fee]

I was trying this:

if (document.getElementById('name').height > 23) {// do something}

but i got: 'setting a property that has only a getter' error message.How can I check it?

That probably means that the compiler thinks you're trying to set the height.Try this?

x=document.getElementByID("name")y=x.heightif(y>23) {//do something}

I have a few additions to this.First of all, you don't need the variable x.You could just do this:

y=document.getElementByID("name").heightif(y>23){//do something}

But even so, you might mave an other problem. The y variable may not contain the objects height value as an integer, but rather a string with "px" added to it (like "200px", for example).If you get that problem, you can fix it like this:

x=y.slice(0,y.length-2);

This will shave the last two characters off the string, and ad the rest to the variable x (like "200", for example).Even so, you might still get the problem that x is treated as a string, and not an integer. If you get that, you can fix it like this:

x=eval( y.slice(0,y.length-2) );

What eval() does is execute a string as code, so if the value of y.slice(0,y.length-2) is the string "200", it will output 200, like you had written it into the code by hand.Good luck with it!

Can't you set and get from style.height?

Yes.. the first line would of cause have to be

y=document.getElementByID("name").style.height;

sorry...
