I'm not really sure what the problem is here. If the computed style
height is 30, that's what you want, right? The computed style is the
style that is used after the browser calculates which CSS declaration
applies. The 33px with the strikethrough shows that that particular
declaration (or in this case, html attribute) is being overridden.
Sounds to me like everything is as it should be, unless what you're
seeing is not what's expected.
