How to obtain non-computed css style?

[Jezternz]

Hi,

I would like to obtain the non-computed style property of an element

examples:

jquery:

$(element).css("width")

// will not work, as it will return the computed width (in pixels), when it is set to 'auto' I do not want the width in pixels, I want the actual property (auto).

element.style.width

// Also not acceptable as this will only retrieve inline properties.


Any help is hugely appreciated,
Cheers, Josh
