Example
Use The Evaluator (Chapter 13 in the JavaScript Bible) to compare the properties
of the runtimeStyle and style objects of an element. For example, an unmodified
copy of The Evaluator contains an EM element whose ID is “myEM”. Enter both
document.all.myEM.style.color
and
document.all.myEM.runtimeStyle.color
into the top text field in turn. Initially, both values are empty. Now assign a color to
the style property via the upper text box:
document.all.myEM.style.color = “red”
If you now type the two earlier statements into the upper box, you can see that
the style object reflects the change, while the runtimeStyle object still holds
onto its original (empty) value.
