jQuery "height" method
In this tutorial ,we will discuss about "height" method of jQuery. The
difference between .css('height')
and .height()
is
that the latter returns a unit-less pixel value (for example, 400
)
while the former returns a value with units intact (for example, 400px
).
The .height()
method is recommended when an element's height needs
to be used in a mathematical calculation.
