WebElement.getCssValue & WebElement.getAttribute Usage

Question

Can anybody help me about how to use these two functions to get value of any CSS property.

What seems to be the problem? [`WebElement.getCssValue()`](http://selenium.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/WebElement.html#getCssValue%28java.lang.String%29) returns a value of the element's CSS attribute. `String bgColor = driver.findElement(By.id("myId")).getCssValue("background-color");` — Petr Janeček, Jun 11 '12 at 07:26

If have a particular <img> tag as below

<img title="Title" alt="myTitle" src="A/B/C/xyz.png">

driver.getElement(By.tagName("img")).getAttribute("src") will get you the src attribute of this tag. Result - A/B/C/xyz.png

Similarly, you can get the values of attributes such as title, alt etc.

Similarly you can get CSS properties of any tag by using getCssValue("some propety")
