I want width of a div element which is specified by developer.
Means if you write $('body').width()
, it will provide you width in px , whether you have specified it or not.
I need width of div specified in CSS/JavaScript but not which is calculated by jQuery (which was not actually specified but was inherited).
If not width is specified then I need to know.
The code below will loop through all stylesheets as well as the matching element's style property. This function will return an array of widths.
function getCSSWidths( id ) {
var stylesheets = document.styleSheets;
var widths = [];
var styleWidth;
// loop through each stylesheet
$.each( stylesheets, function( i, sheet ) {
var len = ( sheet.rules.length || sheet.cssRules.length );
var rules = sheet.rules || sheet.cssRules;
// loop through rules
for (var i=0; i < len; i++) {
var rule = rules[i];
// if width is specified in css add to widths array
if (rule.selectorText.toLowerCase() == "#" + id.toLowerCase() ) {
widths.push( rule.style.getPropertyValue("width"));
}
}
});
var el = document.getElementById( id );
// get width specified in the html style attribute
if( el && el.style && el.style.width ) {
widths.push( el.style.width );
}
return widths;
}
getCSSWidths( "test" );
Fiddle here
There is one issue that I can see though as multiple selectors can be specified in the selectorText i.e.
#id1, #id2, .class1 {
// properties
}
In these cases the id passed in as an argument will not match the selectorText property. Maybe someone can come up with a regex expression that will match the specified id :)
<style type="text/css">
.largeField {
width: 65%;
}
</style>
<script>
var rules = document.styleSheets[0].rules || document.styleSheets[0].cssRules;
for (var i=0; rules.length; i++) {
var rule = rules[i];
if (rule.selectorText.toLowerCase() == ".largefield") {
alert(rule.style.getPropertyValue("width"));
}
}
</script>
