Description
Using Chrome 8, selecting a table column
<col />
and running
.width()
on it will just return 0. But using straight javascript
parseInt(el.style.width)
will get the width just fine.
This seems to work just fine in Firefox 3.6 and the IE9 beta. Chrome 8 will just return 0 for some reason.
I've put together a test case here: http://jsfiddle.net/r74JT/

Replying to [comment:1 jitter]:
And how is this a jQuery bug? If you inspect the col elements in Chrome it shows 0 as computed value. Using el.style.width just returns the css rule value. test case with non px-value set as width.
Oh sorry, I guess you're right. This is more of a Chrome bug since the computed width is incorrect. I didn't check there. Also, there was an update to Chrome 8 tonight and the problem still exists.
Although, in the same vein, shouldn't .css() return the correct value? Does that just return the style or does it return the actual computer width? I updated the example to include this as well: http://jsfiddle.net/r74JT/3/

.css() returns the computed width (which in Chrome is 0px). May I suggest that you use .width() on the actual column instead of calling it on the "col" element. Or what is the use case for calling this on "col"
