Let us assume you have a margin-bottom property set to 20px   20    20em  To get the value as a number there are two options   Option 1   parseInt     some DOM element ID   css  margin-bottom    10     The parseInt   function parses a string and returns an integer  Don t change the 10 found in the above function  known as a  radix   unless you know what you are doing   Example Output will be  20  if margin-bottom set in px  for   and em it will output the relative number based on current Parent Element   Font size   Option 2  I personally prefer this option   parseFloat     some DOM element ID   css  margin-bottom       Example Output will be  20  if margin-bottom set in px  for   and em it will output the relative number based on current Parent Element   Font size   The parseFloat   function parses a string and returns a floating point number   The parseFloat   function determines if the first character in the specified string is a number  If it is  it parses the string until it reaches the end of the number  and returns the number as a number  not as a string   The advantage of Option 2 is that if you get decimal numbers returned  e g  20 32322px  you will get the number returned with the values behind the decimal point  Useful if you need specific numbers returned  for example if your margin-bottom is set in em or
