jQuery CSS borderWidth

Question

I\'m unable to get the border width of an element. I tried the following but it shows empty results. Check http://jsfiddle.net/s7YAN/14/

$(\'div\').css(\'bor

For border-width, you need to specify the side of the border. borderWidth/border-width is a shortcut for all of the border-width's at once.

$( function() {
    alert($('div').css("border-top-width"));
});

Also, you need to specify more than a border width for it to be valid. Just specifying a border-width does not make a border. It needs a color and style, too:

border: 2px solid black;
