.width() is not enough ;-) I have a div with overflow: hidden and it's width is, suppose, 100px; Inside i have a very long P <div style="width: 100px; overflow:hidden"> <p style="white-space:nowrap;">my v-e-r-y long text, repeated...my v-e- r-y long text, repeated...100 times</p> </div>
the NOWRAP keep my text in ONE line. Riht? If i ask: $("div p").width() jQuery returns 100! 100 is the value of the visible area, i guess. What for the part i don't see? maybe the dimensions plugin may help? Tried but without success. Is there any way to get the exact value, in PX of a NESTED element even tho it's not FULLY visible? Yes, still the newsticker.... Thanks in advance. GC
