Element.clientHeight

You’re reading the English version of this content since no translation exists yet for this locale. Help us translate this article!

The Element.clientHeight read-only property is zero for elements with no CSS or inline layout boxes; otherwise, it's the inner height of an element in pixels. It includes padding but excludes borders, margins, and horizontal scrollbars (if present).

clientHeight can be calculated as: CSS height + CSS padding - height of horizontal scrollbar (if present).

Note: This property will round the value to an integer. If you need a fractional value, use element.getBoundingClientRect().

Syntax
