[jQuery] Re: get height from hidden element

[Charlie]

there are methods explained in UI tabs docs how to handle this amuhlou wrote: Perhaps you can try grabbing the element's height just before you initiate tabs (assuming you're not pulling in the tabs via ajax)?

If I do: $("#my_element").outerHeight() I get zero. Whereas If I do the same when the element is visible, I get its height. I work with jQuery 1.3.2 and FF 3.5. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
