If IDL says an attribute is readonly then only get. If not, then set and get.

If this is a DOM attribute, use set'height. If this is a style
attribute, see below.

Mochikit probably has some wrappers around CSS to work cross browser.

If you would like to manipulate styles directly, use "inlineStyle"
function first (see CDOM/Level2/DomUtils.hs), then use setters and
getters on the TCSS2Properties object.

         inlineStyle inp
           (set'borderWidth "0px") $ \_ ->

Nice thing about setters, you may chain them together:

         inlineStyle inp
           (set'borderWidth "0px") (set'fontSize "14pt") $ \_ ->

But then you need to remember how different browsers name same
attributes (note that EchoCPS2 is not colored correctly in MSIE, while
in FF it is green on black - correct coloring).

I wish Mochikit had any IDL specs for their interfaces (or perhaps
some XML which with medium amount of pain might be converted to IDL).
Is there any?

Thank you.
