Getting numeric value of a css property

Question

suppose I have a css property like below,

left: 200px;

now, how can I get and use the numeric value(200 in this scenario) of this property in jquery. If I write

dom_object.css(“left”);

it gives me “200px” rather than 200.

Answer 1

You can use parseInt()
Ex.
let padding = parseInt("15px"); //result 15

Taken from : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/parseInt

If parseInt encounters a character that is not a numeral in the specified radix, it ignores it and all succeeding characters and returns the integer value parsed up to that point.

Thank you very much. It worked :-)
