Finding Device width

Question

How to find the device width using the view port meta tag.

Also wants to display the device width in the console with

java script.

you don't find the device width using the view port meta tag. and a simple google search would easily show you how to do it — kennypu, Mar 19 '13 at 09:20
@SamuelLiew, `screen.width` (the width of the device's screen) vs `window.innerWidth` (the width of the browser window). They shouldn't be the same unless the window is maximized / fullscreen. — Dagg Nabbit, Mar 19 '13 at 09:40

The viewport dimensions can be gotten through the window object:

var viewport = {
    width  : $(window).width(),
    height : $(window).height()
};

//can access dimensions like this:
//viewport.height

Though you won't always get perfect results, different devices behave differently and this gives the viewport dimensions, not the screen dimensions.
