//be very careful,you might get a wrong result depends on how you makrup your html and css
$('.hidden').actual('height',{absolute: if you use css3pie with a float element for example a rounded corner navigation menu you can also try to pass a attribute '{ clone : true }' please see demo/css3pie in action
$('.hidden').actual('width',{clone:true});
