Add in integer to returned value with jQuery
- by danferth
I have a page with a div id="videoFrame" that holds the video tag. The videos have variable heights so I have a function to grab the height value and plug it into the css of the div id="videoFrame like so:
var videoHeight = $('video').attr('height');
$('#videoFrame').css('height',videoHeight+'px');
This works great. But here's the part driving me crazy. I have a p tag with disclaimers at the bottom of the div id="videoFrame". So I would like to add an additional 26px to the returned height. I tried:
var videoHeight = $('video').attr('height');
var frameHeight = videoHeight + 26;
$('#videoFrame').css('height',frameHeight+'px');
But as you would expect it is adding 26 to the end of the returned value. i.e. if returned value is 337 output for var frameHeight is 33726.
I can not for the life of me figure out how to do this.
Thanks in advance for any help
