Get *all* CSS attributes with jQuery

Question

Here's how you get one css attribute using jQuery:

$('someObject').css('attribute')

How do you get them all? (without specifying and preferably in the following format so it can be reapplied with jQuery later):

    cssObj = {
        'overflow':'hidden',
        'height':'100%',
        'position':'absolute',
    }

Thanks!!

EDIT

The methods I'm trying to get are declared in a style sheet (they are not inline). Sorry for not specifying.

See this live example using the jQuery attribute selector

$(document).ready(function() {
    alert($("#stylediv").attr('style'));
});?
