getCSSProperty

Get a css property from a DOM-element selected by given selector. The return value is formatted to be testable. Colors gets parsed via rgb2hex and all other properties get parsed via css-value.

info

Note that shorthand CSS properties (e.g. background, font, border, margin, padding, list-style, outline, pause, cue) will be expanded to fetch all longhand properties resulting in multiple WebDriver calls. If you are interested in a specific longhand property it is recommended to query for that instead.

Usage
$(selector).getCSSProperty(cssProperty)
Parameters
NameTypeDetails
cssPropertyStringcss property name
Examples
example.html
<label id="myLabel" for="input" style="color: #0088cc; font-family: helvetica, arial, freesans, clean, sans-serif, width: 100px">Some Label</label>
