Using jQuery, how would you find elements which have a particular style (eg: float: left), regardless of whether it's an inline style or one defined in a CSS file?

A:
Using the filter function:
$('*').filter(function() {
return $(this).css('float') == 'left';
});
Replace '*' with the appropriate selectors for your case.

Much better solution than mine I think.

Yeah, +1 good answer, but for sanitys and speeds sake one may want to reduce the search field to something less than '*'

Of course he should pass the selectors relevant for him :)

Well, I don't know if I would approach this this way. Why not just rename those elements with a consistent ID or class name, and select that?
If that's not an option, this should work:
this.getElementsByTagName('div').item(0).style.float = 'left';
I think.

This will not work. Your code selects all divs, reduces selection to the first div, then sets its float to left.

This is gonna be slow. Like REALLY slow. If you know you need to select all elements with a given CSS style, you will see much better performance by applying a single additional css rule to each element, and then selecting by that rule.
It's going to be MUCH faster and more readable to boot.
CSS:
.float-left {float:left}
Javascript:
$('.float-left');
