SVGSVGElement: height property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since January 2020.

The height read-only property of the SVGSVGElement interface describes the vertical size of element as an SVGAnimatedLength. It reflects the <svg> element's height attribute, which may not be the SVG's rendered height.

The CSS height property takes precedence over the <svg> element's height attribute, so the value may not reflect the element's appearance. If both the viewBox and height attributes are omitted, the height property reflects that actual height.

Value

An SVGAnimatedLength.

Example

js
const svg = document.querySelector("svg");
const verticalSize = svg.height;
console.dir(verticalSize.baseVal.value); // the `height` value
