Help for getting HTML element width info.

[Jiang He]

Hello, everyone,

I just joined this group, and I hope some more advanced members may
enlighten me about the following question:

Can I use the Gecko engine to get the width information of some HTML
elements (such as table,tr,td)? The element width information is not always
available in the HTML source, but when the element is displayed, the width
information is required. I think the layout engine calculates the width. Is
there a way to retrieve the width of the element from the layout engine?

Thanks,

Jiang

As far as I can see, you can just use the offsetWidth property.
