    Hi how do I get the width and height of an element and then use it position a dropdown menu… if I use css the same rule doesn’t seem to work in ie and since I anyway need jquery I might as well use it.

    Thanks

    What I would do is store it in a var.

    var itemWidth = $("myElement").width();
    var itemHeight = $("myElement").height();

    that should get you your values stored in "itemWidth" and "itemHeight"
