So I'm trying to get the width of the element using jQuery.

alert($(#theList li:eq(0)).offsetWidth);

<script src=https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js></script>



<ol id=theList>

  <li>The quick brown fox

</ol>

jQuery has $(elem).width() function that returns offsetWidth of element

alert($(#theList li:eq(0)).width());

<script src=https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js></script>



<ol id=theList>

  <li>The quick brown fox</li> <!--also you forgot closing tag -->

</ol>
