Padding or margin value in pixels as integer using jQuery

You should be able to use CSS (http://docs.jquery.com/CSS/css#name). You may have to be more specific such as “padding-left” or “margin-top”.

Example:

CSS

a, a:link, a:hover, a:visited, a:active {color:black;margin-top:10px;text-decoration: none;}

JS

$("a").css("margin-top");

The result is 10px.

If you want to get the integer value, you can do the following:

parseInt($("a").css("margin-top"))
