Retrieving Div Height in Plain JavaScript

Determining the height of a div element without using jQuery can pose a challenge. While jQuery offers a straightforward solution with its .height() method, it may not be the most efficient approach for every scenario. Here's how to achieve it using plain JavaScript:

Using clientHeight:

The clientHeight property provides the height of the div's visible content, excluding any scrollbars or borders. It includes the padding applied to the div. To retrieve it, you can use the following code:

var clientHeight = document.getElementById('myDiv').clientHeight;

Using offsetHeight:

Alternatively, the offsetHeight property includes not only the padding but also the height of scrollbars and borders. This can be useful in certain situations:

var offsetHeight = document.getElementById('myDiv').offsetHeight;

By utilizing either the clientHeight or offsetHeight property, you can effectively determine the height of a div element in plain JavaScript, providing flexibility and control over your code.
