Size of a table cell?

zapster · Jun 11, 2003

Hi all

I Need to refer to a table cell in javascript can this be done?

The problem is i need to obtain the size of a table cell which is populated dynamicly with text and image data so that I can scale an image in another table.

IE i want to find the height and width of the cell

please let me know how i can do this

Thanks

I found a way to do it if you tell what height you want the cell to be in the <td> tag... here is my code...

<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
function fnctable()
{
alert(document.getElementById('cell1').height);
}
</script>
<body onLoad="fnctable();">
<table name="table1" border=1><tr><td id="cell1" height=50>
HELLLO!!!</td></tr></table>
</body>
</html>
