Really? What version? It didn't work for me in 17.0.963.83. I see that there's
an update available from there, but I get an error when I try to update --
Update server not available. Strange, given that it's Google's server...

The issue seems to be that you can't use the fully composed shortcut to set the
DOM (and according to the W3C, that's the spec). You can only manipulate the
decomposed attributes. Doesn't explain why Safari lets you do it. It seems to
coalesce all styles to their more fully composed form internally -- if you try
my example again and watch the element in the Web Inspector, you will see that
whether you set two.setStyle('border") with the Copy Border Style link, or loop
through all of the decomposed parts of that style attribute with Copy Border
Style With Crazy Long-ass Work-around, the DOM reads border: 10px solid
rgb(102, 102, 102);

Thanks, this would get me the width of the border, but I'm actually trying to
capture the entire border style. Here's what I ended up with for now:
$('copy2').observe('click', function(evt){
var one = $('one'), two = $('two');
$w('top right bottom left').each(function(side){
$w('color width style').each(function(mode){
var key = 'border-' + side + '-' + mode
var val = one.getStyle(key);
two.setStyle(key + ':' + val);
});
});
});
I discovered in the process that setting these attributes with their
camel-cased key names didn't seem to work, while using the hyphenated forms
worked fine. I could set a single camel-case variable at a time, long-hand, but
inside my nested loop, I was only able to use the hyphenated form. I still
haven't figured out why that happened. It appears as though setStyle({key:
val}) is not equivalent to setStyle('key: val') in some cases.
Thanks for looking at this,
Walter
