Losing it.

On a mouseover event, I'm inserting a new DOM element that contains child elements.

Based on the content that is injected, there are some positioning tweaks that need to take place.

The problem:
After the element is injected, I cannot get a calculated width. (I always get width:0)

I CAN however, get the width of the new element AFTER the current function has finished executing. What I need is to be able to get the width of the new element before terminating the function that is fired on the mouseover event.

Thoughts?
