This method returns the width of the element, including left and right padding, in pixels.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
      <style>p { margin:10px;padding:5px;border:2px solid #666; } </style>
      <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7rc2.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
      <p>Hello</p><p></p>
    <script>var p = $("p:first");
    $("p:last").text( "innerWidth:" + p.innerWidth() );</script>

    </body>
