How to detect margin-left of element with jQuery

Question

Wird, I thought this is obvious but not necessarily, can anybody tell me how to detect margin with jQuery? I have this and in console i have good result but it's not working on page:

var margin_left = circle.css('margin-left').toLowerCase();
circles_container.css('margin-left', -margin_left + 'px');

Much thx for help.

What you'r doing on page? Post entire code... who is "circle"? — Guerra, May 06 '13 at 13:27

I would say this should be more accurate:

var margin_left = circle.css('margin-left');
circles_container.css({marginLeft: '-'+margin_left});

Try this -

var marginLeftVal = circle.css('marginLeft');
marginLeftVal = parseInt(marginLeftVal)*-1;
circles_container.css({
            marginLeft: marginLeftVal 
});

YOu could also start using the JSizes library.

Found on this page: http://www.bramstein.com/projects/jsizes/

Allows you to easily retrieve or set a property of margin, padding, or other attributes.
