jQuery element outerWidth() returns 0

Question

I have a image element with css set

height: 64px;
width: auto;

When i try to get height and width through jQuery using .outerHeight() & .outerWidth(), i can get height correctly but width returns as 0. I have even tried width(), innerWidth() still same.

I have to set the image dynamically. Maybe that is having some issue. Here is the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/abdulpathan/0vrbnpe3/3

Could someone help me to tackle this.

Thanks

The solution is to simply get the width once the image has loaded.

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
  $('#test').on("load", function() {
  
  var height = $('#test').outerHeight();
  var width = $('#test').outerWidth();
  width = width.toFixed(2); // rounds it
  console.log('Width:' + width);
  console.log('Height:' + height);
  })
  $('#test').attr('src', 'https://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery3/2.png'); 
});

.test-img {
  height: 100px;
}

<div id="banner-message">
  <img id="test" class="test-img">
</div>
