Description
When an item's parent has display set to none, outerWidth() returns 0. This makes the method unreliable.
e.g.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
alert($("#test").outerWidth());
});
</script>
<div style="display:none">
<div id="test" style="width:500px">You can't read me!</div>
</div>
As a note -- the documentation says that outerWidth will work for items that are hidden, which is why this behavior seems unexpected.
