how to get right offset of an element? – jQuery

Alex, Gary:

As requested, here is my comment posted as an answer:

var rt = ($(window).width() - ($whatever.offset().left + $whatever.outerWidth()));

Thanks for letting me know.

In pseudo code that can be expressed as:

The right offset is:

The window’s width MINUS
( The element’s left offset PLUS the element’s outer width )
