Not to be confused with element-style CSSStyleDeclaration.cssText
.
Summary
cssText returns the actual text of a CSSStyleSheet
style-rule.
Note: Can no longer be set directly, as now specified to be functionally modify-only -- and *silently* so -- meaning that attempting to set it does absolutely *nothing* -- not even warn or error. Further, it has no settable sub-properties. Therefore, to modify, 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>
