You can use CSS classes and then check if the element has a specific class. In Selenium IDE :

Command: assertAttribute
Target: document.getElementById('header')[0]@class
Value: myHeader

Unfortunately Selenium IDE is mis-sold as a Record and Replay tool. Selenium IDE is actually a record, tweak and replay tool.

The tweak part is because the IDE can't record everything that you want. I recommend that you create your test from scratch by hand to get it to check the elements CSS.
