170778 - Accessing 'float' property from dom generates a javascript error

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: CSS Object Model, defect)

Description

[Vladimir Ermakov]

The following code generates a javascript error but should pop up an alert with
the value of the float property - "right".

<DIV id="test" style="float: right">Test</DIV>
<SCRIPT>
alert(document.getElementById("test").style.float);
</SCRIPT>

Error: missing name after . operator
Source Code:
alert(document.getElementById("test").style.float);

INVALID.  float is a reserved keyword in many languages, and thus you must use
.cssFloat and not .float.
