Hello,

I am trying to do something seemingly simple and that is to get the background color of a particular element in order to validate whether or not it is correct based on the business rules. The element in questions follows this configuration:

<input id="someID" class="there is some information here" tabindex="-32767" title="title" style="background-color: rgb(255, 50, 50); border-width: 2px; border-style: inset; border-image: none;" type="text">

 

I am not having any trouble accessing the element and its various attributes. However, regarding the style 'background-color', I get into trouble:

HtmlInputText el = <the element referenced above>;
var bgColor = el.GetStyle("background-color");    //  <---- Throws an exception (Invalid Operation Exception).

The problem is the style, "background-color" very clearly exists as you can see in bold above. However, I cannot figure out a reliable and elegant way to pull it out and get its value. Perhaps my approach to this problem is going down the wrong track?

Thanks for your help,

tsjax

Hello Travis,

Since this is a computed style please change the code to:

HtmlStyle backGroundCollor = el.GetComputedStyle("background-color");

Let me know if that helps.
