clientHeight in FireFox

I have a table in HTML code.

I need to get height of that table using JavaScript, so

alert(document.getElementById('myTable').clientHeight);

returns a correct value in IE, but always returns 0 in FF.

How can I get the height of the table in Firefox?

Thanks!

Maybe comeone can correct me here, but if you want to get the height of a specific element then why not just use

EDIT: this only works if the element has inline styles and a defined height

document.getElementById('myReputation').style.height;

MDC says:

clientHeight is a non-standard, HTML-specific property introduced in the Internet Explorer object model.

In Firefox, the offsetHeight property contains the current pixel height of an element, so you can use something like:

var theHeight = element.clientHeight || element.offsetHeight;
