For what it's worth: here's the hasLayout page from MSDN.
I love the part where they repeat their mantra, "There is no public
standard that applies to this property."

hasLayout Property
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retrieves a value that indicates whether the object has layout.
Syntax
HTML N/A
Scripting [ sHasLayout = ] object.currentStyle.hasLayout
Possible Values
sHasLayout Boolean that receives one of the following values.
false Default. Object does not have layout.
true Object has layout.
The property is read-only. The property has a default value of false. The
Microsoft Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) extension is not inherited.
Remarks
The following table shows Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) properties and
corresponding values that, if set, cause an element to have layout.
CSS property Value
display inline-block
height any value
float left or right
position absolute
width any value
writing-mode tb-rl
zoom any value
As of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6, when the !DOCTYPE declaration
specifies strict standards compliance, inline elements will ignore the
width and height properties, and setting the width and height properties
will not cause the element to have layout.
Setting the contentEditable property to true will cause an element to have
layout.
BODY, IMG, INPUT, TABLE and TD elements always have layout.
Example
The following example shows how to use the hasLayout property to determine
whether an object has layout.
<DIV ID="oWidthSet" STYLE="width:100%">
DIV element A has its width set to 100%.</DIV>
<DIV ID="oNotSet">DIV element B is not positioned,
and neither its height nor width is set.</DIV>
<P>Which DIV element has layout?</P>
<BUTTON onclick="alert(oWidthSet.currentStyle.hasLayout)">
DIV Element A</BUTTON>
<BUTTON onclick="alert(oNotSet.currentStyle.hasLayout)">
DIV Element B</BUTTON>
This feature requires Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.5 or later. Click the
following icon to install the latest version. Then reload this page to view
the sample.
