Getting size of auto sized DIV

Hello !

If a div has the CSS :

div {width : auto;}

And i do something like this :

alert(mydiv.currentStyle.width);

it returns :

"auto"

What i really want is the actual pixel value ...

Any ideas ?

Hi wexen, welcome to the forums,
Try to get it's "offsetWidth"

That did the trick thank you !

I now have somthing like this :

// First loop do some stuff and get the width of the biggest div in the array
for(var no=0;no<draggableItems.length;no++){
draggableItems[no].onmousedown = startDrag;
draggableItems[no].style.cursor = 'hand';
if(itemWidth < draggableItems[no].offsetWidth) {itemWidth = draggableItems[no].offsetWidth}

}
// Second loop set all div .style.width attribute to itemWidth
for(var no=0;no<draggableItems.length;no++){
draggableItems[no].style.width = itemWidth;

}
