<p>The difference between <code>.css('height')</code> and <code>.height()</code> is that the latter returns a unit-less pixel value (for example, <code>400</code>) while the former returns a value with units intact (for example, <code>400px</code>). The <code>.height()</code> method is recommended when an element's height needs to be used in a mathematical calculation.</p>
<p class="image"><img src="http://api.jquery.com/images/0042_04_01.png"></p>
<p>This method is also able to find the height of the window and document.</p>
<pre>$(window).height(); // returns height of browser viewport
$(document).height(); // returns height of HTML document</pre>
</div>
<h3>Example:</h3>
<div id="entry-examples" class="entry-examples"><div id="example-0">
<h4><span class="desc">Show various heights. Note the values are from the iframe so might be smaller than you expected. The yellow highlight shows the iframe body.</span></h4>
<pre><code class="example demo-code">&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;

&lt;style&gt;

div { color:red; font-weight:bold; }

&lt;button id="getp"&gt;Get Paragraph Height&lt;/button&gt;
&lt;button id="getd"&gt;Get Document Height&lt;/button&gt;

<div class="longdesc">
<p>When calling <code>.height(value)</code>, the value can be either a string (number and unit) or a number. If only a number is provided for the value, jQuery assumes a pixel unit. If a string is provided, however, any valid CSS measurement may be used for the height (such as <code>100px</code>, <code>50%</code>, or <code>auto</code>). Note that in modern browsers, the CSS height property does not include padding, border, or margin.</p>
<p>If no explicit unit was specified (like 'em' or '%') then "px" is concatenated to the value.</p>
