I am sure there a million shorthand jQuery ways to do it, but
getting the
value from the anon function (or any other function) seems a very
common use
case. that example, no- borderTop isn't very vital. but to set
something's
top or left position based on the viewport height with some extra
calculations because you happen to need to, it seems kind of useful.
Hi Peter,
I do a lot of that sort of thing, but I do all the calculations
before the .css() and just pass in a variable. You probably already
know that you can do it that way, but just in case, here is a very
simple example:
var elHeight = $(window).height() / 2;
$('someelement').css({height: elHeight + 'px'});
