Okay, got it. You probably meant "currentStyle" for which you indeed get "bar".
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>...</title>
<style>
#something {
foo: bar;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="something"></div>
<script>document.write(document.all.something.style.foo);</script><BR>
<script>document.write(document.all.something.currentStyle.foo);</script><BR>
<script>document.write(getComputedStyle(document.all.something).foo);</script><BR>
</body>
</html>
outputs
undefined
bar
bar

Okay, let's add some @coffee at-rule at the end of the reply and let Sylvain reparse the mail :-)
hint: "at the stylesheet level" ... "before any declaration"
