<body onload="howTall();">
<p>Hello World</p>
<div style="float: left;"><img src="somepic.jpg" width="600" height="400" border="0" /></div>
</body>
</html>
gives the correct height in IE7, but reports only the height of the <p> in Firefox.
Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone have a workaround so that I can find the actual height of the document in Firefox?
One option might be to add a wrapper:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<p>Hello World</p>
<div style="float: left;background-color: red;"><img src="somepic.jpg" width="600" height="400" border="0" /></div>
</div>
</body>
Then give it a style rule for 'overflow':
#wrapper { overflow: auto; }
And then get the #wrapper's scrollheight.
Hope that helps.
