I believe the CSSOM spec should be amended to include top/left/bottom/right in the list of properties that return used value when display is not "none". Currently, IE, FF, and Opera return the "used value" for top/left/bottom/right when "display" is not "none". Webkit returns the "computed value". There is an open bug for this in Webkit to do the same as the other browsers: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29084 . One source of hesitation (and rightfully so) is that the spec currently says this is the correct behavior. There are also open bugs for this in popular JS libraries: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/10639 http://yuilibrary.com/projects/yui3/ticket/2529799 Having the used value returned is a very useful operation. It's why JS libs are asking for it and a majority of browsers are doing it this way. It'd be great if the spec matched this reality. I welcome any and all comments.
