Elements do not represent HTML tags.  HTML elements consist of tags (start


and end tag, where the latter or both may or may not be optional), and they


also may consist of content.



Accessing the DOM with an ECMAScript implementation returns references to


element objects which represent elements in the markup.

- getComputedStyle(objRef, pseudoElem).width


  (standards compliant: Gecko, Opera)


- objRef.offsetWidth (proprietary: Gecko, IE, Opera)


- objRef.currentStyle.width (proprietary: IE)
