The position and visibility of the image element is dynamically updated.

The following code displays the correct dimensions in Firefox 3.0.10 and Chrome 1.0.154.65, but displays "0,0" in IE8.

var _img = document.getElementById("imageElementId");
alert(_img.width + ", " + _img.height);

Any ideas on how to get it to work in IE8?

Use this method:

var _img = (( document.getElementById ) ? document.getElementById("yourImageId") : document.images["yourImageId"] );

var iWidth = (( _img.width !== 0 ) ? img.width : (( _img.clientWidth ) ? _img.clientWidth : _img.offsetWidth ));
   alert( iWidth ); // Do the same with the image height
