This might seem a dumb question but how do I get the CSS value of an element that is a percentage? e.g.

if ($('#main_element').css('left') == '-100%') {
    alert('position is negative');
});

This doesn't seem to do anything even though the element is positioned left -100%

Thanks

you can't get css in percentage, but you can get it manually by reading its parent width and doing some calculation from it. – Rajaprabhu Aravindasamy Jun 20 '14 at 13:21
Can I get the value in pixels then? – user2028856 Jun 20 '14 at 14:20
