How to get div height?

in Using jQuery • 9 years ago

On the site I am working on, I would like to know what the height of the main wrapper is, so I can vertically center the content.

Here is one of pages:

http://sams:8888/company.php

I tried both the following, but both return 0. I don't want to specifically set the height in my css if at all possible.

$("#main-wrapper").outerHeight();

$("#main-wrapper").height();

Is there a way to see what the height is? I feel like I have done that before, but not sure why this is not working or how I did that.

Thanks a lot for any comments.

are you waiting until the document is ready?

$(document).ready(function(){});

Additionally, if you have any dynamic content that needs to load or images that don't have width and height attributes, you may need to use $(window).load(function(){}) to get the height after they are done loading.
