offsetWidth vs clientWidth JavaScript
offsetWidth and clientWidth are both properties used to obtain the width of an element.
- offsetWidth: Retrieves the total width of an element, including its content, padding, and border. In other words, offsetWidth includes the width of the element, the width of the padding, and the width of the border.
- clientWidth: Obtain the visible width of an element, which refers to the width of the content area of the element, excluding padding and border. In other words, clientWidth only includes the width of the element.
These two attributes are typically used to calculate the position and size of elements on a page, or to achieve certain layout effects.
