You can access the regular dom properties/methods by extracting the element from the jQuery collection.
$('#foo').get(0).clientWidth You can also just use bracket notation. $('#foo')[0].clientWidth You could also use the Dimensions plugin which helps abstract some cross browser issues with widths, heights and offsets. http://jquery.com/plugins/project/dimensions -- Brandon Aaron On 5/29/07, pd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi BjQ (before jQuery) I can do this: document.getElementById('foo').clientWidth to get a DOM value that Firebug tells me is set to something other than 'undefined'. I can't figure out how to the do same in AjQ (after jQuery). I've tried the following: $('#foo').attr('clientWidth') but keep getting undefined. Am I trying the wrong syntax? If so, what syntax will achieve the results I'm after?
