[UPHPU] debugging js in IE

[Wade Preston Shearer]

Here is what it was:

I was using jQuery to get the CSS height of an element, like this…

var h = parseInt($('#example').css('height));


…and then using that value later, like this…

$('#example2').css('height', h + 'px');


All browsers except IE, returned the CSS height as "292px". IE however  
was returning "auto". I wonder if this is a jQuery bug/shortcoming  
where it isn't able to calculate the height in IE. Anyway, running  
"auto" through pareseInt leaves you with "NaN" (not a number), which  
cases IE to barf when you try to set the height of #example2 to "NaNpx".

I originally coded it to get the CSS height instead of using height(),  
innerHeight(), or outerHeight() because those functions were returning  
inaccurate and inconsistent results. I tried them again now and at  
least the results are consistent. I changed the code to…

var h = parseInt($('#example').height() - 1);


I am getting the height of a table row. height() is returning a value  
of one pixel taller than the row actually is.
