outerHeight(true) gives wrong value

Question

I want the height of a container element, including margins and paddings.

When I hover over the element in Chrome development tool, I get the value that I\'m lookin

Answer 1

If the window is loaded and the document ready and you have accounted for floats and you still get this issue then consider looking for an element with the same id. Be certain you are getting the right element with your jQuery selector. I forgot I had another element in the dom with the exact same id. Consider using jQuery to change the background color to verify.
