Quick question.

> Want to measure the height of an element on the page at the moment a user clicks on it? Hard, in order to do this we had to make heavy use of event bubbling and writing JSON decoders for the native event.target object that is produced by an onclick event.

What would be considered best practice?

Is it best practice to re-implement this sort of thing? Seems one could easily find vanilla JS code and encapsulate it, or add a helper lib?
