Hi everyone and Happy New Year 2007. I'm using Kevin Luck's jScrollPaneplugin (
http://kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/jScrollPane/), wich is great stuff but
uses the plug in Dimensions wich overrides jQuery's functions height() and
width(). The diference between the two namespaces is that when you use this
functions to obtain the dimensions of an object (ie: $("#content").width())
jQuery returns an "integer" like 200, but Dimensions returns a "string" like
200px.
The problem is that I use this functions a lot to format my page's layout
but I need to use the result in numeric expressions adding, substracting,
etc and it can't be done if the result is not a number so I need to extract
the px out of the string. I was considering using a expression like
var newWidth = oldWidth.substring(0,indexOf("p")-1);
or even
var newWidth = oldWidth.replace(/px/,"");
but I could use some input about how you guys get around this issue the easy
and fast way, since my page uses already a lot of script and I don't want to
burden it even more.
Thanks.
