The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

.css('width') yields wrong value sometimes in IE

Description

Using the .css('width') method can yield the wrong width for certain textareas. If you have a textarea in a paragraph which has padding on one side of it, Firefox returns the correct width (both methods) whereas IE only returns the correct width using the .width() method.

Simple change suggested:
ta.css('width') -> ta.width();
