I am fairly new to jQuery.
basically I just want to do $('body').width(), which returns the width of the body element. I want to store that in a php variable.
Also if i wanted this in my page.tpl.php how would I go about it.
I know I use something like:
<?php
drupal_add_js(
'$(document).ready(function(){
$("body").width();
});',
'inline'
);
?>thanks.
Use $.get() or $.ajax()
Sounds like you're going to need to use an Ajax call to send the info back to the server. Take a look at http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax for the jQuery docs on this. The Nodeorder project uses $.ajax() to sends back some info to the server, so you can see how it's done there.
