Hello

I have defined a span object and gave it an id.
The span contains nested tags which define its content.

Is there a way of know what are the precise dimensions of the span in pixels?
I would like to know what are the width & height that the span will occupy once it will be display on the screen.

I tried the following:

Code:

var spanObj = document.getElementByID('mySpan');
var width = spanObj.style.width;
var height = spanObj.style.height;

That however gives me the width and height values that I have set when the span was defined. If the dimensions of the span become different once it is displayed, then I don't know what the new dimensions are.

I even tried:

Code:

var spanObj = document.getElementByID('mySpan');
var width = spanObj.runtimeStyle.width;
var height = spanObj.runtimeStyle.height;

thansk in advance
