Is this silly - value.split("px")[0] -- returns 45 if 45px is in value. Is there another easier way?

Well, if what you want is the numbers, that are in front of some chars, 
then you could use parseInt(value). This will return:
- NaN (Not a Number) if value doesn't start with a number
- an integer else
The value is beeing parsed until it hit's a sign that is not a number.
So in your case it would return 45.
If you need a floating point, you can use parseFloat().
