Get "width" value from "style" from <div> element?

[pstein]

Assume I have (simplified) a code like:

<div class="foobar" style="width: 632px;  margin-right:0px ">

Now I want to get resp retrieve with javascript/jQuery the width of this element;

Keep in mind that the width value shown above could vary depending on occurency.

I miss a jQuery function like

$(".foobar").getwidth();

resp. (more advanced to use in a comprehensive command).

$(".foobar").width($(".foobar").getwidth() + 120px);

How can I achieve this?

You can use element.offsetWidth to get the width of an element in plain Javascript.
