The image below has class="clipped", where clipped in the stylesheet in the HEAD of this file defines a clipping rectangle. The image is clipped as desired, but I can't find any way in Internet Explorer 7 or Safari to get the runtime clip rectangle.

The following in IE return a blank or undefined result:

• javascript:alert(document.images[0].style.clip)

• javascript:alert(document.images[0].currentStyle.clip)

• javascript:alert(document.images[0].runtimeStyle.clip)

The following works in Firefox and Opera, but not Safari, and getComputedStyle() is unsupported in IE:

• javascript:alert(document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(document.images[0], null).clip)

Properties like position seem to work. Searching the stylesheets for rules with relevant selector text seems doable, but a general solution would mean implementing all the logic that goes into calculating run time styles.
