I don't have an answer, but I see the same is true for margin.
// tested in FF w/ firebug
$("#someElement").css("margin-left") // "0px"
$("#someElement").css("margin") // "undefined"
$("#someElement").css("margin", 0).css("margin") // "0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt"
Is jQuery simply returning what the browser returns? Is this consistent
across browsers?
Here's a related thread, talking about the same with border-color:
.css("border-color") returning undefined
