How to find out a layer's height with Javascript?

[a-ok]

I need to find a layer's height with Javascript. Also, the bottom
coordinate of the layer would be nice.

Of course it has to work in MSIE, FF, Opera, NN6+ etc. If there are
different ways for every browser it's no problem, but I can't find the
height property in any of them.

Probably best to avoid that word, 'layer'. 'element' removes any
ambiguity as to what you're referring to. ;)

Element height:

offset*** properties - these are not CSS, althought they may be
affected by it - are the actual calculated values used by the browser
for layout, accurate, and read-only.
