Get height of DIV and it's content with JQuery
- by user1012403
I have a div which contains several elements:
<div class="menuItem designMenu" id="dMenu">
<ul class="menuList menu">
<li class="menuHeader">Design</li>
<li class="projectHeader">Mother</li>
<li class="projectBody">Some text here</li>
<li class="more">More</li>
</ul>
</div>
I need to get the height of the dMenu items that I can animate it upwards, including all the content inside. My Javascript currently:
var designHeight = $("#dMenu").height();
Returns nothing.
I've tried offsetHeight, scrollHeight, and everything else Google turns up. I'm running the JQuery at the end of the body, inside a document ready function.
The reason to get the height to animate, instead of doing it manually, is that a: I'd like to learn how and b: I don't yet know how many items will be int he div.
Thanks.
