The difference: CSS width versus clientWidth
الأهمية: 5
What’s the difference between getComputedStyle(elem).width and elem.clientWidth?
Give at least 3 differences. The more the better.
Differences:
clientWidthis numeric, whilegetComputedStyle(elem).widthreturns a string withpxat the end.getComputedStylemay return non-numeric width like"auto"for an inline element.clientWidthis the inner content area of the element plus paddings, while CSS width (with standardbox-sizing) is the inner content area without paddings.- If there’s a scrollbar and the browser reserves the space for it, some browser substract that space from CSS width (cause it’s not available for content any more), and some do not. The
clientWidthproperty is always the same: scrollbar size is substracted if reserved.
