Calculate largest width of a set of elements using jQuery

Question

I have made a quick Jsbin: http://jsbin.com/ujabew/edit#javascript,html,live

What i\'m trying to achieve is to find out which is the largest

Answer 1

Fleshing out Marc B's comment, using Math.max():

$(document).ready(function(){
  var maxWidth = 0;
  $('.content ul li').each(function(){
    var itemWidth = $(this).outerWidth(true);
    maxWidth = Math.max(maxWidth, itemWidth)
  });
});
