How to return the height of a div in pixels?

Question

Is there a function that would return the pixel height of a div? I want to add images to the side of said div based on the size of the div (which would be dependent on the user's content, and would change the size of the div)

Thanks!

If so (try googling this stuff first) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9592575/get-height-of-div-with-no-height-set-in-css — user1477388, Jul 31 '13 at 18:23

document.getElementById('divId').offsetHeight should give you the height.

If using jQuery:

<div id="something">...</div>

jQuery:

$("#something").height();
