That is not quite correct. getComputedStyle() as introduced in W3C DOM
Level 2 Style returns (a reference to) a CSSStyleDeclaration object which
does not have a `width' property nor does it have a namedItem() method to
allow for this property access in ECMAScript implementations. So the fully
standards compliant DOM access would be

  getComputedStyle(objRef, pseudoElem).getPropertyValue("width")

which is supported only in the Gecko DOM (where the global Window object
appears to implement the ViewCSS interface). It should also be noted that
of all the DOMs tested, the KHTML DOM (Konqueror, Safari), Version 3.5.1
(Konqueror 3.5.1), does not appear to support any of the mentioned access
methods.
