这是我随手拼凑的一个例子。看来我们都达成共识了。

String.prototype.width = function(font) {
  var f = font || '12px arial',
      o = $('<div></div>')
            .text(this)
            .css({'position': 'absolute', 'float': 'left', 'white-space': 'nowrap', 'visibility': 'hidden', 'font': f})
            .appendTo($('body')),
      w = o.width();

  o.remove();

  return w;
}

使用它很简单:"a string".width()

**增加了空格:nowrap，因此宽度大于窗口宽度的字符串可以被计算。

没有jQuery:

String.prototype.width = function (fontSize) {
    var el,
        f = fontSize + " px arial" || '12px arial';
    el = document.createElement('div');
    el.style.position = 'absolute';
    el.style.float = "left";
    el.style.whiteSpace = 'nowrap';
    el.style.visibility = 'hidden';
    el.style.font = f;
    el.innerHTML = this;
    el = document.body.appendChild(el);
    w = el.offsetWidth;
    el.parentNode.removeChild(el);
    return w;
}

// Usage
"MyString".width(12);

你可以使用画布，这样你就不必处理这么多css属性:

var canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.font = "20pt Arial";  // This can be set programmaticly from the element's font-style if desired
var textWidth = ctx.measureText($("#myElement").text()).width;

你也可以使用createRange，这比文本克隆技术更准确:

function getNodeTextWidth(nodeWithText) {
    var textNode = $(nodeWithText).contents().filter(function () {
        return this.nodeType == Node.TEXT_NODE;
    })[0];
    var range = document.createRange();
    range.selectNode(textNode);
    return range.getBoundingClientRect().width;
}

嘿，大家，我知道我来晚了一点，但我们开始吧

window.addEventListener("error",function(e){ alert(e.message); });
var canvas = new OffscreenCanvas(400, 50);
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
ctx.font = "16px Ariel"; //this can be dynamic using getComputedStyle
const chars = ["a","b","c","d","e","f"," ","    "];
const charWidths = new Map();
while(chars.length > 0){
  var char = chars.shift();
  var wide = ctx.measureText(char).width;
  charWidths.set(char,wide);
}

然后你可以用它来做如下的事情:

var pixelWidth = charWidths.get("0");
//fyi css properties like letter-spacing need to be accounted for

如果有人在这里寻找一种测量字符串宽度的方法，以及一种知道适合特定宽度的最大字体大小的方法，这里有一个基于@Domi的解决方案的函数，使用二进制搜索:

/**
 * Find the largest font size (in pixels) that allows the string to fit in the given width.
 * 
 * @param {String} text - The text to be rendered.
 * @param {String} font - The css font descriptor that text is to be rendered with (e.g. "bold ?px verdana") -- note the use of ? in place of the font size.
 * @param {Number} width - The width in pixels the string must fit in
 * @param {Number} minFontPx - The smallest acceptable font size in pixels
 * @param {Number} maxFontPx - The largest acceptable font size in pixels
 **/
function GetTextSizeForWidth(text, font, width, minFontPx, maxFontPx) {
  for (;;) {
    var s = font.replace("?", maxFontPx);
    var w = GetTextWidth(text, s);
    if (w <= width) {
      return maxFontPx;
    }

    var g = (minFontPx + maxFontPx) / 2;

    if (Math.round(g) == Math.round(minFontPx) || Math.round(g) == Math.round(maxFontPx)) {
      return g;
    }

    s = font.replace("?", g);
    w = GetTextWidth(text, s);
    if (w >= width) {
      maxFontPx = g;
    } else {
      minFontPx = g;
    }
  }
}
