The cssText
property of the CSSRule
interface returns the actual text of a CSSStyleSheet
style-rule.
Note: Do not confuse this property with element-style CSSStyleDeclaration.cssText
.
Be aware that this property can no longer be set directly, as it is now specified to be functionally modify-only, and silently so. In other words, attempting to set it does absolutely nothing, and doesn't even omit a warning or error. Furthermore, it has no settable sub-properties. Therefore, to modify it, use the stylesheet's cssRules
[index]
properties .selectorText
and .style
(or its sub-properties). See Using dynamic styling information for details.
Syntax
string = cssRule.cssText
Example
<style> body { background-color: darkblue; } </style> <script> var stylesheet = document.styleSheets[0]; alert(stylesheet.cssRules[0].cssText); // body { background-color: darkblue; } </script>
