How to get font size of an element using jQuery ?
In this article, we will see how to get the font size of an element using jQuery. To get the font size of an element, we will use css() method. The css() method is used to set or return the style property of the selected element.
Syntax:
var style = $(selector).css(property)
Return value: This method returns the value of the style property for the selected element.

<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> <meta name="viewport" content= "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <!-- Including jQuery --> <script src=" </script> <style> h1 { color: green; } #content { font-size: 24px; } </style></head> <body> <center> <h1 style="color: green;"> GeeksforGeeks </h1> <h3> How to get font size of an element using jQuery? </h3> <div id="content"> Welcome to GeeksforGeeks </div> <br> <button>Get the font size</button> </center> <script> $(document).ready(function () { $('button').click(function () { var fs = $("#content").css("fontSize"); alert("Font Size of div Element: " + fs); }); }); </script></body> </html> |
