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).
Note: This property will round the value to an integer. If you need a fractional value, use element.getBoundingClientRect().
