"so any changes of table height" - there's no standard event that will allow you to automatically do this. Instead you'll need to identify what can cause changes in the height, and bind a function to an appropriate event there (or to several elements).

 

@priti

I think you mean .css('height'), but better is .height() -- the latter returning a unit-less pixel value.

 

Using standard JavaScript makes this a lot more awkward, but you may have some look with .clientWidth/.clientHeight or .scrollWidth/.scrollHeight. The only problem being the differences between browsers make them very hard to work with reliably. If you're already using jQuery (or another framework) I'd definitely use the built-in functions.
