body: <p>How can I increase css values with jquery?</p>
  
  <p>I want to increase values such as top and left, this is what i tried but does not work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var left = 5;
  $(.object).css("left" + 5);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the thing is that i need the value to be an integer rather than a string like "5px". I need 5 so that i can change it with numerical expressions.</p>
