No, I believe this is correct behavior per the DOM 2
CSS spec. You will need to use getComputedStyle() or
actually read the styleSheet rules directly through
the DOM 2 Style Sheets interface.
Examples:
document.styleSheets.item(0).cssRules.item(0).style.getPropertyValue("text-decoration");
should give you the text-decoration for the first rule
in your linked style sheet
document.getElementsByTagName("link")[0].sheet;
will give access to the sheet in the first link tag
document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(document.getElementsByTagName("div")[0],null).getPropertyValue("width")
will give you the computed style for the width of the
first div in a document.
Refer to the DOM 2 CSS and Style Sheets spec. for more
information.
