jQuery get width of an element that is larger than the viewport
<p>I have a horizontally scrolling website and it has a div with <code>id = "bookWrap"</code> which is filled with <code>inline-block</code> elements so the width is unknown to me but it far extends my viewPort.</p>

<p>While trying to get the width of this element via <code>$('#bookWrap').width()</code> jQuery returns my viewport width which is 1680 and not the real width of the element.</p>

<p>How do I go about getting the true width of an element that extends beyond the viewport?</p>
