Question

just a basic question

I have an object and I’m trying to get the css property out of it. So what I want is like this

var width = e.style.width;

I’m like 90% sure that width would become a string, but then again I’m not really sure.
I can set the the objects with

e.style.width = 200;

so it places an int or float or w/e value I want but not sure how to get the css style out.

Thanks

Answer 1

Just use

parseFloat(e.style.width);

This will strip out the “px” out of the value and give you the actual value in pixels.
