jQuery: Get height of hidden element in jQuery 1.4.2
- by mkoryak
I need to get height of an element that is within a div that is hidden. Right now I show the div, get the height, and hide the parent div. This seems a bit silly. Is there a better way?
I'm using jQuery 1.4.2:
$select.show();
optionHeight = $firstOption.height(); //we can only get height if its visible
$select.hide();
