Ok, Paul, let me see if I have this right because what I'm trying to do is not working. I need to add the style method you displayed above to the Element class in the MozillaBaseElement.rb file. then I call "puts $Browser.text_field(:id,/PART/).style("left")" and that should return the left of that text_field. This is not working for me at all. I get an error message of "SyntaxError: syntax error". I added the method right after the initialize method. I know you said that I may have to make modifications but i'm not even getting close right now
