The CSSRule.selectorText
property gets the textual representation of the selector for the rule set. This is readonly in some browsers; to set stylesheet rules dynamically cross-browser, see Using dynamic styling information.
Syntax
string = cssRule.selectorText
Example
// for cssrule: body { background-color: darkblue; } var stylesheet = document.styleSheets[0]; alert(stylesheet.cssRules[0].selectorText); // body
Notes
The implementation may have stripped out insignificant whitespace while parsing the selector. If set to a selector string which cannot be parsed, a SyntaxError is thrown.
