You don't need to use a function for that, just do:
$("#element").width( $("body").width() );
as $("body").width() returns a value that is used by $("#element").width(
... ). If you still have problems, debug it with
Firebug's<http://getfirebug.com>console part by part and check if you
are getting strings from those
functions when you need integers and things like that.

hello all,
I'm very new to JQuery and I'm struggling, I've gone through the
documentation and I'm still clueless. I am trying to do the following:
Each time the browser window gets resized I want to measure the width of
the body and use that value to set the width of an element. Here is my
best attempt (I know this is wrong):
$("#element").width(function() { $("body").width(); } );
Should I be using variables to store the value? I think I need to use a
callback but I can't figure it out.
