jqueryHow do I set the width of an element using jQuery?


Setting the width of an element using jQuery is a simple task that can be accomplished using the width() method. The width() method sets the width of the selected element in pixels.

For example, the following code block will set the width of the element with the ID #myElement to 200px:

$('#myElement').width(200);

This code will not produce any output.

The code is made up of three parts:

  1. $('#myElement') - This is a jQuery selector that selects the element with the ID #myElement.
  2. width() - This is the jQuery method that is used to set the width of an element.
  3. 200 - This is the width in pixels that will be set for the selected element.
