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.
