how can I split() a css size value ...

[brothercake]

for example - "0.7em" or "13px" so that I end up with [0.7,'em'] and [13,'px'] respectively.

Any thoughts? This is frying my brain slightly ...

/([0-9]*(?:\.[0-9]*)?)([a-z%]+)/

Does this work?sCss.split(/(?=[\d.]+)(?=\w+)/);
If not, how about simply:aCss=[parseFloat(sCss),sCss.replace(/^[\d.]+/,'')];

Another thought

sCss.match( /^(.*)(px|pt|em|ex|%)$/ );

I think that would work

[liorean]

Hmm, maybe this:aCss=/([\d.]+)(.+)/.exec(sCss);You'd also get a first value that is the join, but otherwise it should be a good catcher.
