Use the clientHeight method:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td id=&quot;master&quot;>
      <img src=&quot;blind.gif&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;10&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;>blah blah blah blah
</table>

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
  function retHeight(id)
  {
    var cell = document.getElementById(id);
    alert(cell.clientHeight);
  }
</script>

<input type=&quot;Button&quot; value=&quot;alert&quot; onclick=&quot;retHeight('master')&quot;>
