.css(‘width’) and .css(‘height’) versus .width() and .height()

Question

Guys I\'ve been asking around and nobody can really tell me the benefits of using .css(‘width’) and .css(‘height’) rather than .width()

Answer 1

.width returns a unitless value, where as .css("width") returns the css value, width should be used with mathematical calculations
