How to get border width in jQuery/javascript

Question

How do I parse the border width from

style=\"border: solid 1px black;\"

in jQuery/javascript?

$elem.css(\'border-width\')<

Answer 1

If u have equal border widh for element, or u need left, top border width, plain js:

elem.clientLeft; //get left border of element
elem.clientTop; //get top border of element

To get right, bottom border use jquery+css:

parseInt($(elem).css('borderLeftWidth'),10); // 10 use to get result in dec, not hex number system
