--- title: Dimensions --- Every block-level element has `clientWidth`, `clientHeight`, `offsetWidth` and `offsetHeight` bindings: ```html
{text}
``` These bindings are readonly — changing the values of `w` and `h` won't have any effect. > Elements are measured using a technique similar to [this one](http://www.backalleycoder.com/2013/03/18/cross-browser-event-based-element-resize-detection/). There is some overhead involved, so it's not recommended to use this for large numbers of elements. > > `display: inline` elements cannot be measured with this approach; nor can elements that can't contain other elements (such as ``). In these cases you will need to measure a wrapper element instead.
