[OpenLayers-Users] Retrieving label width

[Slawomir Messner]

In my opinion, it is the easiest way to do it with a hidden div. It 
works fine for us and one more div on a website is not that overhead or 
memory problem if you're aware of not creating divs without destroy it 
again.
The textMetrics function is nice if you use jQuery:
