So, it means that it is impossible to get any end-representation attribute that has *not* ben explicitly set within a correspoding CSS declaration. Does that imply as well that there is no standard (e.g. inter-browser) way to get basic representation properties such as width etc? (if found a solution that works with the offsetWidth HTML Element property but that is not part of the HTML DOM standard) Thanks for your help, Mike.
