Non-standard This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.
Element.currentStyle is a proprietary property which is similar to the standardized window.getComputedStyle() method. It is available in old versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer. However, it returns the units set in CSS while window.getComputedStyle() returns the values in pixels.
Polyfill
This polyfill returns the values in pixels and is likely to be rather slow, as it has to call window.getComputedStyle() every time its value is read.

return window.getComputedStyle(this);
}
});
