Quick question, simple javascript... I think anyway

[RussFortyFour]

Hello coders,

I dont know any javascript yet but I would just like to know how to do one thing. Im using a bit of code to find the height of a <div> which is different depending on the amount of content it contains.

This is the code im using and its working fine:

<script language="javascript">

onload=function() {

var divh = document.getElementById('main-content').offsetHeight;

var divh = divh + 200;

// alert(divh +"px");

// document.write(divh);

 }

</script>

So heres the thing, what I need to do is take the value in the variable divh and echo it into the page as an inline css height attribute.

So for example:

<div style="height:<javascript value here>px;">

Site Content

</div>

Any help would be greately appreciated.

Thanks, R404

That is not a (IMHO) good way of doing that. You want to get the element and set the property in JS, not use JS to write out the value.

Give the div an ID, and use

document.getElementById('theID').style.height = divh + "px";
