Out of curiosity... what are you expecting back from the call to padding
when it is different for top/bottom vs left/right? If it returns a string
then you'll have to do your own parsing. If it returns an object, then
you'll have to access each property separately. Also should the return value
be exactly what is in the stylesheet? In this case should it return a string
with two values (top/bottom and left/right)? Why not just request the
padding for the side that you need?
Currently jQuery doesn't support the retrieval of CSS shorthand properties.
You'll need to get the padding for each side separately.
$("div").css("padding-top");
