is this possible ? i want the calculated width,height and not the one that i apply to the elements.

Answer 1

The jQuery dimensions functions will be able to help. For example, the height() function

Get the current computed height for the first element in the set of matched elements.

Answer 2

See: http://api.jquery.com/height/

Answer 3

You can do this easily (and without jQuery) with element.offsetWidth and element.offsetHeight
