.innerWidth() ExampleTop

Retrieve the currently computed CSS width of the first element within the matched set including padding, but not border or margin.

In the example below when we press the button we get the width and inner width of the image below. As you can see from the CSS the inner width includes the padding.

#main #img1 {
  background-color: green;
  margin: 20px;
  padding: 20px;
  border: 10px solid blue;
  width: 200px;
  height: 150px;
}

$(function(){
  $('#btn8').on('click', function() {
    alert('The image has a width of ' +  $('#img1').width()  
          + ' and an inner width of ' + $('#img1').innerWidth());
  });
});
