But what if the implicit CSS style value of the div is 'display:none'.. Do you thinkg there is any way to get the size of the div even the CSS style definition is 'display:none'.. ?

Note: I do not have a problem getting the height and width of DIV elements that I have set using Javascript. The probel is that this value appears to stick. I.e. the height is set to 150px, then the content is changed and the DIV cosumes as much height as is required (clearly more than 150px), however analysing the DOM indicates that the height is the same (though it is clearly not).

I want to know how to get hold of the 'actual' size of a DIV element that is manipulated by the content of the DIV.

I am also interested in a solution that works in IE and Firefox (at least).

Cheers.
