[[Javascript]] width and height of an element

I'm glad you found what you are after, but, since I'm touchy, I wanted
to show you how I tested before I sent that link:


<html lang="en">
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
	<title>untitled</title>
	<meta name="generator" content="TextMate http://macromates.com/";>
	<meta name="author" content="Lee Hinde">
	<!-- Date: 2006-09-24 -->
	<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
	function howbig(){
			myitem=document.getElementById("item");
			alert(myitem.offsetHeight);
			
		}
	</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="item" onclick="howbig()">
		Here I am.
	</div>
</body>
</html>


That gives me an answer....
