Element.clientWidth
The Element.clientWidth
property is zero for inline
elements and elements with no CSS; otherwise, it's the inner width of an element in
pixels. It includes padding but excludes borders, margins, and vertical scrollbars (if
present).
When clientWidth
is used on the root element (the
<html>
element), (or on <body>
if the document is
in quirks mode), the viewport's width (excluding any scrollbar) is returned. This
is a special case of clientWidth
.
Note: This property will round the value to an integer. If you need
a fractional value, use element.getBoundingClientRect()
.
Syntax
var intElemClientWidth = element.clientWidth;
intElemClientWidth
is an integer corresponding to the
clientWidth
of element
in pixels. The
clientWidth
property is read–only.
