In IE6, quirks mode, I expect this to not change their height of an
object:

var h = $obj.height();
$obj.height(h);

However, it does cause a re-size (if the object has padding/borders).
Is this intended?
( Using: http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.pack.js )

It looks like when height() is called, it returns the internal height,
minus borders and padding.
When height(val) is called, the height includes borders and padding.

I believe these should behave consistently in quirks mode. In
standards mode they work fine.

For now I will write a fix that switches based on compatMode.

There is a reason it's called Quirks mode :)

True, but the whole purpose of a library like jQuery is to abstract
such pains and make it just work. IE6 is still a common browser
(especially in corporate environments) and quirks mode pages are
common. With all the work-arounds for special cases in other areas of
jQuery, I think this should work correctly regardless of doctype as
well. IMO :)
