[Feature Request] Get specific property value of 'style' attribute

[JonathanMagnan]

Hello @pycxu ,

I would recommend you create your own extension methods. So your could use it this way:

node.GetAttributeValue("style", "").GetComputedStyle("left");

You pretty much already have the code you want for this method.

I do not believe at this moment we will add it on our side.

Best Regards,

Jon

Just an FYI: Using the function name GetComputedStyle here is likely misleading. Getting a computed style properly is not simply done by parsing the source HTML document and extracting the style values from the "style" attribute. To get actual computed styles would require more or less a layout engine plus possibly a Javascript engine, something that is well beyond a "simple" HTML parser.

If you would really need computed style properties of an element in your HTML document (emphasis on "computed"), the best approach would be probably using a head-less browser engine, something like CEF (for which there is also a .NET wrapper: CefSharp)

Thanks for the heads up. That makes so much sense. I will do that with Puppeteer Sharp.
