Hi kids!

I was hoping someone could help me out with a little JS/CSS issue.

In IE, you use obj.currentStyle.property, in FF you use ...getComputedStyle..... etc....

With an element that has height/width set as a %age, IE reports xx%, whereas FF reports?px as in, the actual area on screen.

What I require is the xx% value as I wrote in CSS, not what FF thinks it actually is, does anyone know a way of reporting the CSS value in FF?

Maybe you could get the width/height of the node's parent as well, and then calculate the percentage yourself? For example, if Firefox says that your node is 100px, and that node's parent is 200px, then 100/200 = .5 or 50%.

Thanks for the reply.

The point is I want to act on elements that have a % specified width. I could calculate the %age but that's not what I want.

Ok, so you don't actually care what that percentage value is... you just want to find those elements that have a percentage value specified in the CSS?

Yes. Then I do actually need to know what the %age is.
