I am trying to understand what I'm doing wrong, I have two elements, image withing anchor with no style. some how the anchor dose not cover the image area.
example: http://jsfiddle.net/L4ShV/1/
<a href="javascript:void(0)" id="downloadLink" >
<img src="http://toonimo.com/testing/clients_tests/somoto/flv_player/images/nlp/free_download_btn.jpg" border="0" style="width: 373px;height: 120px;" />
</a>
<div>
<h1>a dimantions:</h1>
width: <span id='width_c'></span><br>
height: <span id='height_c'></span><br>
<br>
when clearly its not possible!
How can i get the Real height?
</div>
<script>
var el = document.getElementById('downloadLink');
document.getElementById('width_c').innerHTML = el.offsetWidth;
document.getElementById('height_c').innerHTML = el.offsetHeight;
</script>
any reason or solution for this problem?
That is a normal behaviour of anchor as it expects for block-level elements. You can float a to cover the image.
<a href="javascript:void(0)" id="downloadLink" style="float:left">
