Re: Storing style properties aside from object

The question is how correct that is

It is not correct at all. The `style' property is specified to be read-only:

<http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Style/css.html#CSS-ElementCSSInlineStyle>

and/or is there a better way to do it?

if (myDiv)
{
for (var p in style1)
{
if (typeof myDiv.style[p] != "undefined")
{
myDiv.style[p] = style1[p];
}
}
}
