JQuery (Javascript) CSS Value & Operator

Question

I need to get the CSS value Width of a DIV-Container. Then I will divide this width value through 245px.

Pseudo Code:

var articles = "#showroom ul" css width / 245px

Check out "visual jQuery." It's a pleasant, fast way to browse jQuery for functions like width(). api.jquery.com/visual — Surreal Dreams

You'll want to use the width function:

var articles = $('#showroom ul').width() / 245;

jQuery width() function.

for more specific dimensions see the dimension-functions in the jQuery manual

.outerWidth() and .outerWidth(true) are usefull in particular for elements with margins and borders

Depending on your specific needs, its worth mentioning the outerWidth() function. As it will return the width of the element, along with left and right padding, border, and optionally margin, in pixels.
