Dears, i was trying the width method whats get the width if the css property width was declared or inherited.
but i was looking to get the exact width of the div, while not specifying it in the CSS Style Properties. as in the Width Jquery Documentation Example: <html> <head> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ function showWidth(ele, w) { $("div").text("The width for the " + ele + " is " + w + "px."); } $("#getp").click(function () { showWidth("paragraph", $("p").width()); }); $("#getd").click(function () { showWidth("document", $(document).width()); }); $("#getw").click(function () { showWidth("window", $(window).width()); }); }); </script> <style> body { background:yellow; } button { font-size:12px; margin:2px; } p { border:1px red solid; } div { color:red; font-weight:bold; } </style> </head> <body> <button id="getp">Get Paragraph Width</button> <button id="getd">Get Document Width</button> <button id="getw">Get Window Width</button> <div> </div> <p> Sample paragraph to test width </p> </body> </html> I remove the width of the p tag from style. i got the width value of the p tag equals to the Document Width and Window Width. while i need to get the exact width size of the content of the p tag "in that case text". get the width of the text included in the p tag. Please, help me in that issue. Thanks, Shenouda Bertel
