Uh, allright, I'm sorry...I guess I found a solution.
The trick is to wrap the content in a span, and then retrieve the
spans height.
But still, I guess if contents().height() (which sounds so logical to
retrieve the contents height, don't you think) works in Internet
Explorer it should work in Firefox as well (or it shouldn't give any
nasty exceptions, at least)...
If someone got an even easier way than the span-wrapping I'd be glad
to hear about!
