Question

I am creating custom div scroller and want to set top position of content div. My jquery code is as below:

containerOuterHeight=$(\"#messagePopUpContainer\").out         


        

Answer 1

You could also do

   var x = $('#element').height();   // or any changing value

   $('selector').css({'top' : x + 'px'});

OR

You can use directly

$('#element').css( "height" )

The difference between .css( "height" ) and .height() is that the latter returns a unit-less pixel value (for example, 400) while the former returns a value with units intact (for example, 400px). The .height() method is recommended when an element's height needs to be used in a mathematical calculation. jquery doc
