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.
