jQuery Clone element and get inherited CSS

I am trying to clone an element and get its CSS proprieties plus inherited padding and margin. I can get the respective element position, width, padding and margin but I can not get the inherited padding and margin. Is there a way to get the actual rendered CSS and apply it to my clone?

Thanx

This question is not clear. What is the difference between the inherited padding and margin and the respective padding and margin?

Maybe list a specific example.

Anywho, the answer is probably jQuery's css() function.

Sorry about that, I'll try to explain. $(this).css(padding) may return 0 if that element does not have padding. However if his parent have padding then my element render according to that parent padding

jQuery's `css()` function returns the computed value and should return any inherited values correctly (Is padding inheritable?) Can you post a short code snippet that shows that this is not occurring?
