I myself like the Watir-WebDriver solution a little more because there you
have to specify exact CSS property and not some pseudo-property, e.g.
backgroundImage vs background-image. Yes, the backgroundImage is part of the
IE API, but as Jari pointed out already it's leaky solution and fights
against standards.
