Hi,
I am trying to understand how the height of an element is calculated in
jQuery. I don't understand how the height can be calculated especially
when the element is hidden with display:none.
Thanks

Fred,
if the particular element is hidden, it is absolutely positioned while
invisible (and the parent element its context), instead of "display:
none", and the height can then be calculated. Thereafter these styles
are resetted.
There is one issue: If not the element itself but some parent element is
hidden via setting display to none, you won't get the correct height.
Its just to expensive to use the above described technique for some
parent element.
