jQuery / Javascript - How do I convert a pixel value (20px) to a number value (20)

Question

I know jQuery has a helper method for parsing unit strings into numbers. What is the jQuery method to do this?

var a = \"20px\";
var b = 20;
var c = $.parseM

Sorry for the digging up, but:

var bar = "16px";

var foo = parseInt(bar, 10); // Doesn't work! Output is always 16px
// and
var foo = Number(s.replace(/px$/, '')); // No more!
