[jQuery] i wish there was a way to get the entire CSS for an element... or is there?

[jquertil]

#myDiv {height:200px;background: #FF9900;}

$('#myDiv').css(height'); // returns "200px'

but how can I get the whole enchilada so I have it in a nice and neat
object?

I imagine something like this:

$myCSS = $('#myDiv').css();
$('.otherDivs').css( $myCSS);
