[[Javascript]] width and height of an element

[Bernu Bernard]

Thanks for your response but it does not answer my needs.

The site you mentioned give a size of an element which has that size  
(width or height) already set.

My question is what you do when the browser decides the width and  
size of the element.
The usual need is when you precise the width and you want to find  
what the browser has set for the height.

When you directly ask the height you get nothing (null or undefined).
