CSS height properties

Ok. This is a bit embarrassing to have to ask. But, I have been toying around
with javascript and I need to find the height of the document. I can get the
height of the window the page shows up in but I can't seem to get the height of
the entire page.

How can that be found?

Thanks in advance.

Try the 'offsetHeight' property of the body element.

Micha,

Thanks so much. That took care of it. I didn't even know about that option. It
isn't listed at w3schools (where I have started all of my web development
learning). However that doesn't surprise me. I eventually ran into the same
problem with php and MySql.

Thanks again. You have taken a lot of stress out of a point of learning.

You might find it helpful to use tools like DOM Inspector or Firebug in
the Firefox browser or Dragonfly in Opera (built-in). With them you can
deeply investigate the internal object structure (DOM) of a page,
including all properties and attributes of every single object (can be a
bit overwhelming when you see it the first time ;-) ) and informations
about the box model (e.g. dimensions of the selected object).

Then you can search the Web for further informations about the
properties of interest.

Thanks again. You have taken a lot of stress out of a point of learning.

You're welcome.
