IE6 javascript can't get height by document.getElementById(id).offsetHeight

I just got a problem which is I can't get the height property of a <p>.(use javascript document.getElementById(id).offsetHeight)

It works fine both in FF or chrome.

I have tried to set the style of the <p> to height:100%;/heigh开发者_运维技巧t:auto;

but both not work.

Please help me, thanks :D

UPDATE: It seems that IE6 didn't return the offsetHeight value when page is loading, so maybe I have to put the javascript in the onload event? (Cause I put the javascript in the html during the page is load before).

Try document.getElementById(id).style.pixelHeight (elm.style.pixelHeight/Width is an IE-only property.) I've found sometimes it works but not offsetHeight for some reason.

It may also pay to add a "zoom: 1" to the element's style to trigger hasLayout, which can sometimes fix finding the height if I recall correctly.

The answer is IE6 didn't return the offsetHeight value when page is loading, so I have to put the javascript in the body onload value.

It works.

Thanks for all the replies.
