But preferably not with client-side DOM scripting.  In general, CSS 
properties should be specified in a stylesheet that is merely triggered with 
scripting, for example by toggling CSS class names on elements.  Also be 
aware that you can generate and append those stylesheets with client-side 
DOM scripting, should it be necessary:

You can also use the getPropertyValue(), removeProperty(), and setProperty() 
methods of the CSSStyleDeclaration interface, which take the original 
(hyphenated) CSS property names as arguments:

<http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Style-20001113/css.html#CSS-CSSStyleDeclaration>

Such as?

Since both are OSS: UTSL.  You can also use the auto-completion built into 
the corresponding developer tools to find out.
