Inherited CSS Values via Javascript

Question

On my page I am changing some css styles via javascript. When I try and pull a value that has been inherited - it comes up blank. Consider the following:

Answer 1

Your second CSS rule:

.Sliding #FilterBox
{
    height: 185px;
    background-color: Fuchsia;
}

will match anything with id "FilterBox" that is a descendant of anything with a class "Sliding", so this rule does not apply to your div.

And to get the computed style, you can refer to Fabien's answer, or consider using jQuery, which makes this stuff a lot easier:

using jQuery, $("#FilterBox").css("display") would return the current value for "display".
