Question

i need to get a string in jQuery to determine an integer value, then add the letters “px” to the string.

So, this is what I have:

$(function(){
    var embed_height = $('.embedheight').height();
    if( embed_height < 160 )
    {
        var imheight = embed_height-10;
        var infowidth = imheight+10+"px";                    
            $('.embedinfo').css('left','infow');
    }
});

what i need is the variable infowidth to say for example 135px

currently, that jQuery function is not working

Answer 1

Why? jQuery will automatically cast units (px) on to an integer:

var infowidth = imheight+10;
$('.embedinfo').css('left', infowidth);

Fiddle here to play with it.
