Question

What is the value of outerHeight() for the paragraph after the following code?
$("p").height(84);
$("p").css("margin", 8);
$("p").css("padding", 2);
The answer is 88 but how??

Answer 1

outerHeight does not include the margin by default. You need to pass the boolean value true in order for it to include the margin.

As of now, you have 2 + 84 + 2 which is indeed 88. Call outerHeight(true) and you'll get 104.

Answer 2

88
