Description:
The jQuery outerWidth () method is used to GET/SET the outer width for the matched element. This will includes left and right padding but not border/margin.
- GET outer Width: It will return the outerWidth for the selected/matched element
- SET outer Width: It will set the outerWidth for the selected/matched element
Syntax
- $(selector).outerWidth()
- $(selector).outerWidth(value,function(Integer index, Number Width))
| Margin | It specify the Boolean value to include the element’s margin in the calculation.
|
| Value | It specify the number of pixels or a number along with an optional unit. |
| function(Integer index,width | A function returning the outer width to set. Get the index position of the element in the set and the old outer width as parameter |
If includeMargin set to false then the padding and border are included in the calculation; if true then the margin is also included.

<html> <head> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"> </script> <style> .defaultClass { border: 5px solid #eed5b7; padding: 10px; width: 90px; height: 50px; background-color: red; display: inline-block; } </style> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { $('.btnClass').click(function () { $('#divCurrentWidth').text(" Box width (no padding) : " + $('#divbox1').width()); $('#divOuterWidth').text(" Box Outer Width (with top & bottom padding) : " + $('#divbox2').outerWidth(false)); }) }); </script> </head> <body> <button class="btnClass" id="addMethod">SET/GET OuterWidth() CSS property</button><br /><br /> <div id="divbox1" class="defaultClass"> </div> <div id="divbox2" class="defaultClass"> </div> <br /><br /> <div id="divCurrentWidth"></div> <div id="divOuterWidth"></div> </body> </html> |
Output:
Here, width of the box is 90. So width() method will return the same width mentioned the property but innerWidth() method will add the left(10px) , right(10px) padding and include border as well ( 5+5 = 10). S0 it return 120 as its outerWidth.
