.css(‘width’) and .css(‘height’) versus .width() and .height()

Question

Guys I\'ve been asking around and nobody can really tell me the benefits of using .css(‘width’) and .css(‘height’) rather than .width()

Answer 1

From the .height() documentation -

The difference between .css('height') and .height() is that the latter returns a unit-less pixel value (for example, 400) while the former returns a value with units intact (for example, 400px). The .height() method is recommended when an element's height needs to be used in a mathematical calculation.

If you need to use height in a calculation get the value with .height().
