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?

[jQuery] Re: getting DOM values
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.

Here are the docs for .get( Number ) http://jquery.bassistance.de/api-browser/#getNumber -- Brandon Aaron On 5/29/07, pd [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks guys, super-fast reply :) Is this documented anywhere? I've scanned through the API and didn't see anything for what seems to be a pretty fundamental requirement from a JS library, don't you think? I understand if people haven't had the time to include this in the doco though.
