How to Using Webdriver Selenium to get the value of "style" element

Question

I want to check whether the value of a style element is greater than a particular value (i.e., is left > 666px ?), but I am unable to get ahold of the value.

Here is the HTML code of the style that I want to capture:

<pre><span id="da2c" style="left: 666px; top: 27px;"></pre>

I am using this code to try to print its value, but it's not printing:

System.out.print(driver.findElement(By.id("da1c")).findElement(By.cssSelector("span")).getAttribute("style"));

I want something like this:

if ((driver.findElement(By.id("da1c")).findElement(By.cssSelector("span")).getAttribute("style")).value> 700) {
  System.out.println("value exceeding")
}

You may capture the Computed Css value as shown in the firebug screenshot below:

like this:

WebDriver web = new FirefoxDriver(;
String visibility = web.findElement(By.xpath("//your xpath")).getCssValue("display");
