Test case showing the width and height for the pseudo-element being reported as those of the element it is defined on.

getComputedStyle incorrectly returns the width and height values of the element on which the pseudo-element is defined instead of the values for the pseudo element. This is the same incorrect behavior as exhibited in Firefox 3.6.

This doesn't look right. E.g., I think you would get the wrong value if width/height is auto or if min/max width changes the size.  We need to get the right RenderObject and ask it for the right size.

Does this work properly in IE?

Nit: It's nice to name the test in the ChangeLog.

I don't have IE but it works as it should in FF and Opera.

We need more tests for this.  Changing the renderer pointer impacts more than just width and height, we should test as many values as possible.

Also, you should add tests without display:block and with auto sizing.

else if since we can't be both AFTER and BEFORE.

Is it possible for renderer to be NULL?  E.g., if the node is display: none.  Can you add a test for this case?

Did you mean to have 2 #testBeforeAfterTable::before sections?

> LayoutTests/fast/css/getComputedStyle/getComputedStyle-with-pseudo-element.html:64
> +      #testBeforeAfterTable::after {

Did you mean to have 2 #testBeforeAfterTable::after sections?

These should return the computed value, right?  Maybe just add a FIXME here so we know that we don't actually want to return auto.  It would also be OK for the test to output FAIL.

Oh, nevermind, we always return auto on inline blocks.  This looks correct.
