[edit] Description
An element's scrollHeight is a measurement of the height of an element's content including content not visible on the screen due to overflow.
If the element's content generated a vertical scrollbar, the scrollHeight value is equal to the minimum clientHeight the element would require in order to fit all the content in the viewpoint without using a vertical scrollbar. When an element's content does not generate a vertical scrollbar, then its scrollHeight property is equal to its clientHeight property.
