jQuery window width sometimes return wrong value -

sometimes when call:

$(window).width();

the value returned wrong (on browsers except ie, on ie correct). use line:

$('div.container p').text($(window).width());

to change text of p element see value returned when resizing window. here example when value returned wrong:

in top right corner, can see actual dimensions on chrome.

i noticed when value wrong, off 17px.

note value returned not wrong of times window looks should.

help!

@inacio schweller correct.

to consistent cross-browser result, can use non-jquery version:

window.innerwidth

try typing console of browser , you'll see returns consistent result regardless of browser using.

note: non-jquery version window.outerwidth returns same result in ie , chrome, returns smaller value in firefox.
