Absolute positioned div and its content?

Any element that has a style of display:none will return a height of zero. If you have this menu hidden and need a height, then position it to the left, out of the browser viewport (e,g left: -10000px ) then when you want to display the menu, reposition it inside the viewport (e. G left: 0px ).

Using this method the height of the element should be accurate.

That seems to be the problem indeed. I simply have a problem with the solution: I want to let the menu fade in on mouse over, that doesn't work if the menus are already visible... Thinking of it I might just hide the menus after creating the svg. I'll give this a try.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
