Get the sum of the outerHeight of all elements of the same class

Question

I think this is a pretty straightforward problem but...

var outerHeight = $(\'.profile\').outerHeight();
$(\"#total-height\").text(outerHeight + \'px\');
         


        

Answer 1

Loop through each matching element and add up the outerheights:

var outerHeight = 0;
$('.profile').each(function() {
  outerHeight += $(this).outerHeight();
});
$("#total-height").text(outerHeight + 'px');
