The content height of a div can dynamically get using clientHeight and scrollHeight properties depending upon the user requirement. If a user wants to know the space required by actual displayed content including the space taken by padding but not including the scrollbars, margins, or borders, then the user can use any of the following procedures that will return the height of the entire content of an element.
- Using Element.clientHeight property
- Using Element.scrollHeight property
Example 1: Content Height of div using clientHeight property will return the height of the entire content of an element.
