Hehe, looks like Adam saved us both the trouble :) I guess I didn't
realize everything was derived from Element, I thought that was just
what you got back via DOM access (can't say I ever actually thought
about it, but I don't think I would have known that even if I did).

Frank,
I don't think you could extract the width from the control's style
unless you'd set it. I'd have to agree with you on that one. Isn't
there a property on the control (width?) you could determine the width
from? Maybe I answered too quick and should have done some research
first. I was thinking I had done something similar before, but as I dig
deeper into my memory I realize that it was the height of an iframe I
set, and that was based off the contained document's height (scroll
height or some such thing).
I suppose it seemed intuitive to me that the button should have a width.
I'll dig into my JavaScript book while at the office tomorrow and see if
there isn't a property that a person can determine the width of a button
with. There's got to be a way to do it. I'm curious now, too! I have
been wrong before though.
I'll try to pop-in at lunch and drop my findings ;-)

Would that even work Eddie? I seem to remember that if you didn't
explicitly set the width of an element yourself, you can't retrieve
it. Indeed, this quick test:
<html>
<body onload="alert(document.getElementById('b').style.width);">
<input type="button" id="b" value="this is a test">
</body>
</html>
..results in a blank alert in both IE and FF.
This only matters of course if you have to make all the buttons the
same width dynamically, but now I'm just curious! Is there a way to
do it I wonder?
