Using Javascript or HTML, how to get the height and width of a div or other element?

Question

I\'ve been trying for a while now to \'get\' the height and width of a div on my webpage. I\'ve tried many things, some are:

document.getElementById(\"header\").

if you don't use jQuery try this:

document.getElementById('someDiv').clientHeight;
document.getElementById('someDiv').offsetHeight;
document.getElementById('someDiv').scrollHeight;

Depend what you need.
