Programming Tips - jQuery: get the *rendered* size (width and height) of an element?

Date: 2014mar17 Language: javaScript Library: jQuery Q. jQuery: get the *rendered* size (width and height) of an element? A. With jQuery use .width() and .height() like this:
function exampleUse() { const boxWidth = $('#mybox').width(); const boxHeight = $('#mybox').height(); console.log("box width x height is " + boxWidth + " x " + boxHeight); }
There is also:
const boxWidth = $('#mybox').css('width'); const boxHeight = $('#mybox').css('height');
Which gives a number followed by "px" - eg "100px" Generally, less useful.
