Use window.getComputedStyle() or <element>.currentStyle() for IE.

Thanks.
There is no standard way (other than going through javascript to set
them) to initialize them?

I think they'll show up in the <element>.style collection if you set
them in an element's style attribute, i.e. 'inline.'

OK. I see. Just to be sure. Inline styles are compatible with all
browsers right ( I am sure pretty much but wanted to see)?

No, but you'll have trouble finding a modern browser that doesn't
support that.

See DOM 2 Style. Specifically, look for `ElementCSSInlineStyle`.
