Window Width jQuery - Explained with Personal Experience

As a web developer, I have come across situations where I needed to get the width of the browser window. One of the ways to do this is by using jQuery.

Method 1 - Using the jQuery .width() Method

The .width() method in jQuery returns the current computed width of the first element in the set of matched elements, including padding and border but not including margin.

    $(window).width();

The above code will return the width of the browser window in pixels. You can assign this value to a variable and use it further in your code.

Method 2 - Using the window.innerWidth Property

Another way to get the window width is by using the window.innerWidth property. This property returns the width of the browser window including scrollbars, but excluding the border, margin, and the vertical scrollbar (if present).

My Personal Experience

Recently, I was working on a project where I had to display a different layout for mobile devices. I used jQuery's .width() method to get the window width and then applied CSS classes according to the width.

    if ($(window).width() <= 768) {
        // apply mobile layout classes
    } else {
        // apply desktop layout classes
    }

The above code worked perfectly for my project and provided a seamless experience for users on both mobile and desktop devices.

• Method 1: Use the .width() method in jQuery to get the width of the browser window in pixels.
• Method 2: Use the window.innerWidth property to get the width of the browser window including scrollbars.
