Thanks Matt, but that does not work.
As my example shows, the element may have a percentage width, or it
could be 'auto' (which it would be if not specifically set). What I
need is the 'pixel' measurement that would replicate its current size.
In other words, if it currently is width:90%; and I replace it with
width:985px;, the width *would not change* (assuming 985 is the pixel
equivalent).
