take off the height in the CSS, store the computed height in a var, and
on page load set the div to the 300px, then animate to the height
contained in the var.

Hello,
I have a <div> with a height of 300px, overflow hidden, and a lot of
text -- more than can be displayed in the <div>. I would like
to .animate() the <div> to display the entire text. Without animation
I could just use .css("height", "auto"). When I use the same code in
animation -- .animate({"height":"auto"}) -- it returns the height of
the <div> before animation, i.e. 300px. Instead, I need to set a
variable before animation that captures the value of "height":"auto"
without actually applying .css(). That way I use the variable in
the .animate() call. Can anyone recommend a way to do this? Thanks a
lot for the help.
