[Proto-Scripty] element.getStyle('border') does not work
Hello guys I am using the latest version of JS Prototype, 1.7. I have never asked a question about JS Prototype online because I always figured it out somehow or just found another solution. But that's not true this time. In CSS, the border is set on an element like this: #element { border:#00 solid 3px; } Now I try to get the border value in JS Prototype with this code: $('element').getStyle('border'); And this is the return I get in Firebug: (an empty string) I have simplified all other code, so there nothing else influencing it. I have even tested this in another project using Prototype version 1.6. No result. How can I solve this quite important problem?

reorder the border attributes so they are type, size, color and see if that solves your problem.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] element.getStyle('border') does not work
I just tried this with 1.6 and can report the following: * It works if you define the style inline (in the div's style tag). * It works if you set the attribute using Prototype Element.setStyle * It works for any simple attribute that does not have a composite- shortcut form, like width, no matter where in the CSS hierarchy that value was defined. * For anything that has a composite form, like margin (versus margin- left) the only way to get this to work is to set the property inline or by JavaScript (which I believe does the same thing as inline internally). (But this is not universally true for all attributes -- see below.) If you want to get the border property en toto, then you'll have to do the long-hand or JavaScript assignment. But if you want to reference a border-left-width in your code that is set outside of the style attribute on the tag itself, you will probably have to write your CSS in completely long-hand format: #foo { border-left-width: 2px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: #ccc; } I just discovered something else that's fairly alarming -- I defined margin-left: auto; on a div in the page head style tag, then asked for $('thatDiv').getStyle('margin-left') and got back 0px as the value. Doesn't matter where I define it, inline is no different. Firefox 3.latest with Firebug.latest.
