If I recalled correctly, jQuery has pulled much of dimensions into the core. Do you still need dimensions to do what you're suggesting?

The $(window).width() support in jQuery is since version 1.2, in case it's relevant to anybody.

I've found that $(window).width() does not always return the same value as innerWidth / clientWidth as per the examples in the answer below. jQuery's version doesn't take browser scrollbars into account (in FF anyway). This caused me a lot of confusion with CSS @media queries appearing to trigger at the wrong width. Using native code seems to be more reliable as it takes the appearance of the scrollbars into account.

Adding 30k lines of code to get window width is a BAD solution!

@codechimp "Adding 30k lines of code to get window width is a BAD solution!" Proceeds to add a 80k file just to get window width. Bad is relative.
