.outerHeight misses CAPTION height when object is TABLE

[r.i.k@…]

The computed height of a table with no rows but only a caption returns 0, missing the height of the caption.

Although W3C specifies that a table MUST have rows, dynamic manipulation can lead to a table with no rows but only a caption.

FYI, above is what I locally use to "overload" the .outerHeight method :

jQuery.fn.outerHeight = function(origMethod)
{
	return function(args)
	{
		var h = origMethod.apply(jQuery(this), [args]) ;
		
		if (this.get(0).tagName.toLowerCase() == 'table' && this.find('> caption').size() > 0)
		{
			h += origMethod.apply(this.find('> caption'), [args]) ;			
		}
			
		return h ;
	} ;
}(jQuery.fn.outerHeight);

I can confirm this:  http://jsfiddle.net/tPtef/

It does not take into account the caption height.
