Interesting!

Try document.images['bar'].currentStyle.height, maybe it works.

As far as I know NN4 has huge problems with images having a height of 100% 
(I tried in tables and they were supposed to be as high as the TD).

Try document.images['bar'].offsetHeight in NN6 (maybe it also works in IE 
5/6), for NN4 you have to place a DIV with position: relative around it and 
ask for document.layers['divname'].clip.bottom, which gives the height of 
the DIV (and thus the image).
