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

Yes its because the image is not loaded yet and this is my solution:

$('').appendTo('body').css({
                'position': 'absolute',
                'top': -1
            }).load(function() {
                console.log('Image width: ' + $(this).width());
                console.log('Image height: ' + $(this).height());
                $(this).remove();
            });
