#myDIV2 {

<body>

<p>In this example, the child element (#content) inside the first div is bigger than div's height and width 
(the child is 800x2500 while its parent is 250x400), so we have added a scrollbar.</p>

<p>Click the button to get the clientHeight, offsetHeight, clientWidth and offsetWidth of div.</p>

<p>Notice how the scrollbar in the first div "steals" some of div's right and bottom padding, which results in a lower return value for clientHeight and clientWidth in that div, compared to the other one. The offsetHeight and offsetWidth is not affected by this.</p>

var elmnt2 = document.getElementById("myDIV2");
  var txt2 = "";
  txt2 += "<b>Information about div2:</b><br>";
  txt2 += "Height including padding: " + elmnt2.clientHeight + "px<br>";
  txt2 += "Height including padding and border: " + elmnt2.offsetHeight + "px<br>";
  txt2 += "Width including padding: " + elmnt2.clientWidth + "px<br>";
  txt2 += "Width including padding and border: " + elmnt2.offsetWidth + "px";
  document.getElementById("content2").innerHTML = txt2;
}
