Hello all. How can I get a div width when the div is inside another div with "overflow: hidden;" ?

I tried to set overflow as auto and after using $("#divselector").width() but I always get the parent div width!

Ex:

html:

 <div id="content"> 
            <div id="item">content content content ...</div>
 </div>

css:

#content
{            
    width: 760px;
    height: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
    display: block;
    position: relative;
    cursor: move;
}
