This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The styleSheets
read-only property of the DocumentOrShadowRoot
interface returns a StyleSheetList
of CSSStyleSheet
objects, for stylesheets explicitly linked into or embedded in a document.
Examples
function getStyleSheet(unique_title) { for (var i=0; i<document.styleSheets.length; i++) { var sheet = document.styleSheets[i]; if (sheet.title == unique_title) { return sheet; } } }
Notes
The returned list is ordered as follows:
- StyleSheets retrieved from
<link>
headers are placed first, sorted in header order. - StyleSheets retrieved from the DOM are placed after, sorted in tree order.
