how to get the width of a div using jquery?

There is two columns set likes this

.left_inside_tab{ float: left; padding-left: 25px; width: 45%; }
.right_inside_tab{ float: right; width: 45%;}

and i tried to get width like this

console.log ($('.left_inside_tab').width());
console.log ($('div.left_inside_tab').width());

both gives

45 as result. problem is 45 is not in pixels its percentage

what im doing wrong?

add a display:block; to the classes then use the .outerWidth()

The problem is somewhere outside the code you showed. Here is your code http://jsfiddle.net/g9B4b/, it works fine.
