I'd also like to add support for setting inner/outer width / height described here:

And ... this allows you to animate inner/outer width/height (which is often what people really want to change anyway).

I thought we had a ticket open for this enhancement ... mainly i'm replying here so it will show up in my rss feed and i can look for it later. :)

I can't see an existing enhancement ticket for an outerWidth setter, at least not one with the right keywords in it. Can you create one? http://bugs.jquery.com The current signature for the getter is .outerWidth(includeMargin). The includeMargin is supposed to be a boolean but it's currently treated as truthy/falsy so I suspect there is sloppy code out there that might break if the setter's signature is .outerWidth(width, includeMargin).

On curStyles is this what you had in mind? http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/7169  If so it seems like we'd want to add it to .attr() as well.

Don't forget you can vote on tickets now if you log into the bug tracker.

http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/7169 - is this the one you were referring to, Dave? It seems to be working @justinbmeyer

Ah, he had a space in the url (at least when clicking it with chrome).

@justinbmeyer The numbers on this certainly appear impressive but what I would be interested in finding out is what the overall code-size cost is for achieving this (is the plugin on the page referenced the most recent version?). Also, how extensively have you been able to test this with jQuery 1.4.2/1.4.3RC2? :)

This has been part of JavaScriptMVC's 3.0 for probably 6 months.  3.0 is probably in about 50 apps already.  We've been using a custom version of 1.4.3 (with some bug fixes that landed 2 days ago).  I'm in the process of upgrading to 1.4.3 right now (one more bug fix to land).

@scott.gonzalez, right and I thought you had proposed moving that into core at one point.  I just did a search and it looks like my memory was from a chat comment by you on July 20, never got ticket-ified. If you want I can create a ticket for it.
