ive been able to get the if variable to work as well only thing is it doesn't respond to if the value is exactly the same and i want it to use only the first number from the calculation only.
Script so far. (function($){ $.fn.testwidth = function(){ var element = this; $(element).load(function(){ changeCss(); $(window).bind("resize", function(){ changeCss(); }); function changeCss(){ var box = $(".box"); var windowWidth = box.innerWidth(); var calculation = (windowWidth - 300) / 152; /*i want to use first digit of calculation only*/ if (calculation=='2'){ var answer=200; } else if(calculation=='3'){ var answer=300; } else if (calculation=='4'){ var answer=400; } else if (calculation=='5'){ var answer=500; } else { var answer=1000; } $(element).css({ "width" : answer }); }; }); }; })(jQuery); If someone can show me how to make it use only the first digit from calculation in the if that would be great. Thanks, dP
