var height = someElementReference.offsetHeight; and to set it:
someElementReference.style.height = "100"; It is worth saying that offsetHeight and offsetWidth are non-standard compliance. They will give you the total rendering height and this will cause problems in IE since they use a different box model than FireFox. So you will have to do some height juggling in IE if you are using padding, margins, or borders. (read up on the box model problem if you are wondering about it...) For setting the height, this is a CSS declaration and can use any valid CSS value. The default is pixels but you can use other such as em.
