How can I get list of all element css attributes with jQuery?

Copying the source from SO1004475 - jQuery CSS plugin that returns computed style of element to pseudo clone that element? - Please follow link and upvote there if you find it useful.

It seems ridiculous, but this is probably your best option - makes .css() with no arguments get an object with all this stuff set.

jQuery.fn.css = (function(css2) { 
    return function() {
        if (arguments.length) { return css2.apply(this, arguments); }
        var attr = ['font-family','font-size','font-weight','font-style','color',
            'text-transform','text-decoration','letter-spacing','word-spacing',
            'line-height','text-align','vertical-align','direction','background-color',
            'background-image','background-repeat','background-position',
            'background-attachment','opacity','width','height','top','right','bottom',
            'left','margin-top','margin-right','margin-bottom','margin-left',
            'padding-top','padding-right','padding-bottom','padding-left',
            'border-top-width','border-right-width','border-bottom-width',
            'border-left-width','border-top-color','border-right-color',
            'border-bottom-color','border-left-color','border-top-style',
            'border-right-style','border-bottom-style','border-left-style','position',
            'display','visibility','z-index','overflow-x','overflow-y','white-space',
            'clip','float','clear','cursor','list-style-image','list-style-position',
            'list-style-type','marker-offset'];
        var len = attr.length, obj = {};
        for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
            obj[attr[i]] = css2.call(this, attr[i]);
        }
        return obj;
    };
})(jQuery.fn.css);

Note that this doesn't capture all possible CSS properties, particularly new ones for CSS3. Here is a list of all standard CSS and stable CSS3 properties, and here's one of hyphen-prefixed vendor-specific properties (such as -moz-border-start). If you really want all of them, you can glean them from there.

As of jQuery 1.8, you can do:

$( "#yourElement" ).css( "cssText" );

Which uses the underlying window.getComputedStyle( element ).cssText. That's the simplest way.

For inline styles:

var styles = $("#someelement").attr("style");

From there, you should be able to split this string if you need to loop the styles.

To check individual styles, check the docs:
