Description
Hello,
The .width() method returns 0 on a <col> element for Google Chrome current stable release (8.0.552.237), and also IE9 and Safari.
Doh in fact it only works on Firefox....
Test: http://jsfiddle.net/NeTS5/
Workaround I'm using for thoses interested: get the corresponding <th> width, or a visible cell for that column...

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project by writing a bug report and providing a test case!
This isn't a bug as the col element itself doesn't have a width. It's just used to style the real columns of a table.
