The DOM core and HTML at least in IE implementation provides access to element attribute so that programmers have access to the current values of an element like the display, position, font and color properties of an element. This is not style sheet information. My question is this type of access part of the DOM level 2 specs. If scripts can access this information, then Visual Basic and C++ should be able to.
