How do I remove the height style from a DIV using jQuery?

Question

By default, a DIV's height is determined by its contents.

But, I override that and explicitly set a height with jQuery:

$('div#someDiv').height(someNumberOfPixels);

How can I reverse that? I want to remove the height style and to make it go back to it's automatic/natural height?

Answer 1

$('div#someDiv').attr("height","");

Answer 2

maybe something like

$('div#someDiv').css("height", "auto");

Answer 3

$('div#someDiv').removeAttr("height");

Answer 4

To keep the way you did it before, just try

$("#someDiv").height();

Answer 5

to remove the height:

$('div#someDiv').css("height", "")
$('div#someDiv').css("height", null)

like John pointed out, set height to auto:

$('div#someDiv').css("height", "auto")

(checked with jQuery 1.4)
