Well, the $(window).height() gets the height for me. What I need is something to measure the distance from the window top and down to the element top. And then subtract it from the window height, minus another 20 pix ad use that value as height for the div.
If the window is 1000 px high, and the div starts 300px down, I'd like to get 100 - 300 - 20 = 680 And then apply this as height for the div. And this needs to be done without mixing in other elements that might or might not be part of the dom tree between the window top and the elements top position. So I guess that the problem lies within the second measuring parameter of my function: $ (".tableHolder").offset().top - this for some reason uses other positioned elements for its calculation, and I need it not to.
