How do you determine the initial width of a draggable().resizable() div, after just instantiating it, without doing anything else to it? The div contains text, and it is obvious that jQuery must know its own width, or else (presumably) the resizable borders would not be perfectly flush with the text.
I have drilled down into the $(id)[0] object, including all childNodes, looking for any “width” property which may be useful (style.pixelWidth, clientWidth, posWidth, scrollWidth, offsetWidth, etc.). What I’m seeing is that these various “width” properties are either zero, a blank string, or have some useless value, such as clientWidth = 7 (pixels), which is way wrong because I can see that it is more like 100. I have put breakpoints on every line in the jQuery code where the string “width” occurs (whole word or any part of a word) and none of these get hit during instantiation (or none of the lines where a variable could be equal to the string “width” get hit with said variable equal to “width”). So I can’t tell when/if jQuery ever explicitly sets/gets a width property at any time. As a workaround, I have found that if I manually resize the div, then look at the style.pixelWidth, then and only then does it give me a valid width property. Any other ideas on how to do this without requiring manual resizing of every single text-containing draggable().resizable() div? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery UI" group.
