Instead of testing the style attribute, which you appear to be doing, try:

var oElement = document.getElementById('id_tbl01'); // for example

if (oElement.currentStyle && !window.opera) {
// for Internet Explorer
return oElement.currentStyle['borderWidth'];
} else if (window,getComputedStyle) {
// For real browsers:
window.getComputedStyle(oElement, '').getPropertyValue('border-width');
}

Note the camel case property name for IE. Also be prepared for IE to
give less than useful results in some cases. :(

HTH.
