You can only get it on client side and then transfer to the server in a
hidden input control.

Not that simple.

Browsers have their own logic and priorities. They may consider your
instructions as recommendations and set another width.

<input type=hidden id=inhDivWidth runat=server>

This is an invisible html control. In javascript you get the width of the
panel and assign it to inhDivWidth.value. The value will get to the server
with a postback and your server code can access inhDivWidth.Value.
