How to get the computed width of an element's border?

Question

How can I get the computed border width of a HTML element in Javascript? (Independent of where and how the border is specified.)

Can the four sides have different widths or will they be set constantly to the same width? — Pekka

You want something like window.getComputedStyle(), but that's not a 100% cross-browser function - you'll have to work a little harder for that.
