.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

they will also return/set different values (not talking about the 'px' suffix)

if you have box-sizing: border-box
