HTML DOM Element offsetHeight

Example

Display the height and width of "myDIV", including padding and border:

Try it Yourself »

More examples below.


Definition and Usage

The offsetHeight property returns the viewable height of an element (in pixels), including padding, border and scrollbar, but not the margin.

The offsetHeight property id read-only.

Tutorial:

CSS Box Model

The offsetParent

All block-level elements report offsets relative to the offset parent:

  • offsetTop
  • offsetLeft
  • offsetWidth
  • offsetHeight

The offset parent is the nearest ancestor that has a position other than static.

If no offset parent exists, the offset is relative to the document body.

Syntax

const elmnt = document.getElementById("myDIV");
let text = "";
text += "Height with padding: " + elmnt.clientHeight + "px<br>";
text += "Height with padding and border: " + elmnt.offsetHeight + "px<br>";
text += "Width with padding: " + elmnt.clientWidth + "px<br>";
text += "Width with padding and border: " + elmnt.offsetWidth + "px";

const elmnt = document.getElementById("myDIV");
let text = "";
text += "Height with padding: " + elmnt.clientHeight + "px<br>";
text += "Height with padding, border and scrollbar: " + elmnt.offsetHeight + "px<br>";
text += "Width with padding: " + elmnt.clientWidth + "px<br>";
text += "Width with padding, border and scrollbar: " + elmnt.offsetWidth + "px";
