access css class properties in selenium

Question

I have a HTML <div> element and wish to check if it is left aligned using Selenium. However the float:left CSS property is defined in a CSS class.

Is there any way in which I can access the CSS class attributes through Selenium? Alternately is there any other way to get this value?

<div class="myclass">
...
</div>

In sample.css

.myclass{
   float:left;
}

I was trying to use getEval() - this.page().findElement("foo") to find out a way to get CSS class attributes.

With webdriver you can use css selektors:

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".myclass"));
String float = element.getCssValue("float");

See Javadoc of WebElement

yes, i can do that the way you have mentioned. However, I wish to check (through Selenium) that this <div> element is left aligned. So basically, I need a way to access the 'float:left' CSS property, which is defined in CSS Class 'myclass', through Selenium.

seems a good solution, but we are not using webdriver, so cannot use this solution. i am trying to use getElementPositionLeft and providing a range to detect left aligned. Not a great solution, but using it nevertheless.

Are you sure you're not using WebDriver? findelement() is part of the WebDriver API, not the Selenium RC API.
