#12283 closed bug (fixed)

jQuery 1.8 outerHeight is returning undefined instead of null

Description

Moving from jQuery 1.7.2 to 1.8 has changed the return value for outerHeight. In 1.7.2, the outerHeight of an element that does not exist on a page returns null. As of 1.8, it returns undefined. So, equations that used to work in 1.7.2 now return NaN.

Here's a jsFiddle with 1.8 selected. http://jsfiddle.net/4eUJC/1/ Switch the jQuery version to 1.7.2 to see the previously expected (working) results.

Yes, we should be returning null in these cases.

Fix #12283. Return null for dimension getters on non elements. Fix gh-900.
