[WSG] Standards way of getting div background color?

[Dennis Suitters]

Dunno, if this has been asked before.

I've been looking wherever I can for a way to get a div's or any 
element's background color in a sementic friendly way (ie. works in IE 
and FF) using javascript.

so far i've tried the below:

document.getElementById('element').bgColor;

&

document.getElementById('element').style.backgroundColor;

TIA
