I've got a seemingly simple problem with no apparent (by reading the Angular JS docs) solution.
I have got an Angular JS directive that does some calculations based on other DOM elements' height to define the height of a container in the DOM.
Something similar to this is going on inside the directive:
return function(scope, element, attrs) {
$('.main').height( $('.site-header').height() - $('.site-footer').height() );
}
The issue is that when the directive runs, $('site-header')
cannot be found, returning an empty array instead of the jQuery wrapped DOM element I need.
Is there a callback that I can use within my directive that only runs after the DOM has been loaded and I can access other DOM elements via the normal jQuery selector style queries?
