Question

I’d like to use jquery to manually write the css width of a series of element with a certain div class.

I’m trying to ask for the document width, record it as a variable, and then pass that variable to a new css ‘width’ rule…but my jquery skills are a little too meager

Any ideas?

Try this:

var documentWidth = $(document).width();
var fiftypercent = documentWidth /2;
$(".block").each( function() { $(this).css("width",fiftypercent + "px") });

This would give all elemets with class “.block” the desired width. Maybe you should considder this:

$(".block").each( function() { $(this).css("width","50%") });
