Firefox and retrieving height set to "auto"

Hi,

I've encountered a strange problem with Firefox which I don't have any
idea how to resolve. To the point: I've <divelement with a style
"height: auto" and I want to retrieve this value ("auto") in
JavaScript - however instead of getting "auto" value, I get calculated
height. In IE and Opera it simply returns "auto".

Any ideas how to check in Firefox if element height was set to
"auto" ? I'll be grateful for any help.

Thanks,
Piotr

I think you need to provide a code sample, in this example

Firefox outputs "style.heig ht: auto" for me.

Well, when "height: auto" is set directly in "style" attribute then it
returns "auto". The problem appears when "height: auto" is set in
external .css file.

Hi: I know this is a strange question, but I have inherited a system where files are copied and records re auto numbered (as an index field) )frequently, and I am wondering how high the number can go without the system crashing. An ancillary question is how one resets an auto number so that the sequence starts again at 1. In the case of this file, the auto number field serves no useful purpose except as an

The Culture="auto" UICulture="auto" is a great idea, but how do you handle the situaion where SQL Server always requires a dot "." in numeric values.

I could go over the whole site and make sure I replace any commas with dots before...

This cleared up the problem nicely. In EM or through SQL-DMO, the...

I currently get asked about my usage of "auto". What is it for? The keyword is clearly superflous here. In contrast to the huge majority of C/C++ developers I write definitions very explicitly like that: int main(char argc, char *argv, char *env) { try { auto Exception mainException(1); mainException.setErrNo(42);

Hey all, In DB2 v9 is it possible to have an auto generated number field within a primary key that is a combination of multiple fields? For example resv locn sale_no 1234 789 1 1234 789 2 1234 567 1 1234 345 1 I would like sale_no auto generated based on resv and locn, without using a trigger. Is this possible?
