var foo =$('#divname').css('top');
var bar = $('#divname').css('marginTop');
Be careful with padding though, because I think different browsers
report it in different ways because it is a sort of shorthand for
padding-top + padding-right + ...etc. As such, just asking for $
('#divname').css('padding') may not always return what you might
expect. It is safer to get each one separately ... $
('#divname').css('paddingTop'); etc. Of course, if you're sure they're
all set the same then one will do. [same applies to $
('#divname').css('margin');]
