Get HTML and styles of element from DOM

I have a simple question - is it even possible to get element's HTML with styles from DOM? I don't need any jQuery object, just plain HTML with all styles.

I would use it in case were I have grid with different styles across rows and I would like to get that html and styles and sent it to server where I would use it in a mail body - programatically ofcourse.

Is there an elegant way to do that?

Tnx for answers

$.html() (with no arguments) does exactly this: http://api.jquery.com/html/

From the example on the page:

<p>

  <b>Click</b> to change the <span id="tag">html</span>
</p>
<script>
  $("p").click(function () {
    var htmlStr = $(this).html();
    $(this).text(htmlStr);
  });
</script>

When the function is called, the contents of htmlStr is

<b>Click</b> to change the <span id="tag">html</span>

(as a string)
