Theoretically, what you're doing should work, for example, if
DIV[id="test"] has the height declared inline (or via JS), this finds
both the old and new value:
 nObj = document.getElementById("test")
 alert(nObj.style.height)
 nObj.style.height = "400px"
 alert(nObj.style.height)

Although I'm not sure, I'm guessing the "innerHTML" might be causing the
problem.
