height()

Gets or sets the outer height, including padding and borders, of an HTML element, or of the first element in a result set (see results), i.e. the set of HTML elements that match the selector of the script or of another query in the template (see query()).

height(): Number

Returns the outer height of this element, including padding and borders, excluding margins. To include margins, call height(true).

The returned value is the height in pixels, without measurement unit (e.g. 400).

height(value): void

Sets the outer height of this element, including padding and borders, excluding margins. To include margins, call height(value, true).

value

Number. Give the height in pixels, but without the measurement unit (e.g. 400, not 400px).

Examples

This script adds 20 pixels to the width and height of an element.

​var h = results.height();
var w = results.width();

h = h + 20;
w = w + 20;

results.height( h );
results.width( w );

The following script does the same, but in this case, margins are included.

​var h = results.height(true);
var w = results.width(true);

h = h + 20;
w = w + 20;

results.height( h, true);
results.width( w, true);
