Ok, I thought your features come e.g. from a Layer.KML, which sets a 
style property on the feature. Where do your feature styles come from, 
or what makes you think your features have a style property (because by 
default they don't, unless you set it)? I think that you have a 
graphicWidth attribute in your features, not a style. So you would use 
feature.attributes.graphicWidth to access that.

Because OpenLayers.Feature is for Markers layers, and Markers layers 
don't have the concept of a style.
