.width() giving error $(…)[0].width is not a function?

Question

I have a table, and I\'m trying to find the width of each td in the table. I\'ve tried all kinds of variations of: $(\"td\")[0].width(), but none of them work,

Answer 1

$("td")[0] is a DOM element not a jquery object. Simply wrap it as jquery $($("td")[0]).width()

You need to get width of each td so you could use something like

$.each('td', function() {
    var currentTDWidth = $(this).width(); // more code here
});
