[thelist] get height of div with js after changing it?

[david currey]

hi,

is there any way to retrieve the height of a div after it has been
changed (made taller) from a document.write or innerhtml.

eg.

a div is empty and it is 300px tall. using:

a=document.getElementById("Layer1").style.height
alert(a)

gives me 300px

but after i call a script which changes the div (innerhtml) and makes it
taller, the value returned to me is still 300px. is there anyway to get
the 'new' height.

thanks

dave
