Selenium Python - Get the style attribute of an element

To get the style attribute of an element in Selenium Python, find the element, then call get_attribute() method of the element object and pass "style" as argument.
The get_attribute("style") returns the style attribute of the element.

element.get_attribute("style")The element is of type WebElement.

<html>
<body>
<h2>Hello User!</h2>
<p id="msg" style="color:red;font-size:2rem;">This is my <strong>first</strong> paragraph. This is a sample text. Welcome!</p>
</body>
</html>1. Get the style of para element with id="msg"
In the following program, we initialize a webdriver, navigate to a specific URL, get the style attribute of the element with id="msg", and print the style value to standard output.
Python Program
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
# Setup chrome driver
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=ChromeService(ChromeDriverManager().install()))
# Navigate to the url
driver.get('/tmp/selenium/index-9.html')
# Get the element
element = driver.find_element(By.ID, "msg")
# Get style attribute of the element
style = element.get_attribute("style")
print(style)
# Close the driver
driver.quit()Output
