jQuery/Javascript: get full height of element?

Question

hey guys, my blog has a content div with an id of #content. When i Select it e.g. with Firebug it outlines the full height of the div. With all it's padding & margin at the top and the bottom.

jquery height() returns only the inner height of the element it self.

how can i query the FULL height of the element. If there are other elements with a lot padding and margin in it i want ALL OF IT added up and as one value.

Which method should i use?
