Get width of string element without appending

Question

Element:

var dv = "<div style='width:300px;height:100px'></div>";

How to I get 300px printed in the output?

alert($.parseHTML(dv).width()) //outputs undefined.

You should create DOM element, instead of using $.parseHTML

Use

var dv = "<div style='width:300px;height:100px'></div>";
alert($(dv).width());   //300
