Then you should look in the DOM2CSS specification, since moz, op and saf
follows it.
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Style-20001113/css.html#CSS-CSS2Properties>
The properties that you can't find in there usually convert according to
the following pattern:
CSS: text-align, -moz-opacity, float (JavaScript reserved keyword)
JavaScript: textAlign, MozOpacity, cssFloat
Those that are in conflict with a JavaScript reserved keywords are
treated as if their name was not "property" but "css-property", in the
same way that HTML attributes that are JavaScript reserved keywords are
treated. (e.g. for --> htmlFor)
