Get height of image inside a hidden div

Question

i want to to get the height/width of an image inside a hidden div-containter, but .height() and .width() both returns 0 (like expected).

Answer 1

I'm not sure you can do it with jQuery (or javascript at all). I had a similar problem with misreported heights and widths on loading/hidden img's. You can, however, wait till the image loads, get it's correct height and width and then hide the parent... like so:

var height, width;

$('#myimg').load(function() {
    height = $(this).height();
    width = $(this).width();
    $('#init').hide();
}
