Wrong height

[Danny]

Hi All,

Problem: I'm adding a new span, setting its style, and after appending
it to its parent-span, the offsetHeight is changed automatically for
some reason... So instead of a square 14x14, I get a 14x24 rectangle.
Really strange.

Alittle code:

var obj = document.createElement("SPAN");
obj.id = oId;
with(obj.style)
{
top =Math.round (y*RePropY);
left =Math.round ( x*RePropX);
width = Math.round (w*RePropX);
height = Math.round (h*RePropY); // now the height is set to
14px
position = pos;
zIndex = z;
}
if (cName != "") obj.className = cName;
container.appendChild(obj);
// Now the height is still 14px, but the offsetHeight is showing 24

btw, using IE.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,
Danny

I believe that since a span element is an 'inline' element, you cannot
specify certain attributes such as height.
