Re: [cssom] Proposal for obtaining robust style information via Javascript - getStyle()

Boris,

I believe the proposal is a bit broader, but I'll take any interest :-) I
believe is what we're talking about, so you can get "used", "computed",
"specified", "resolved", "actual", "initial", "default" or any other value
type for a CSS property or an element

elem.getStyle( prop, type[, psuedoElem] )

Examples:
<div style="width:100px;"><div id="aDiv"
style="margin:auto;width:50%;"></div></div>

document.getElementById("aDiv").getStyle("marginLeft", "used"); //25px
document.getElementById("aDiv").getStyle("marginLeft", "computed"); //auto
document.getElementById("aDiv").getStyle("width", "used"); //50px
document.getElementById("aDiv").getStyle("width", "computed"); //50%
document.getElementById("aDiv").getStyle("display", "specified"); //""
document.getElementById("aDiv").getStyle("display", "computed"); //block
document.getElementById("aDiv").getStyle("display", "default"); //block
