CSSStyleDeclaration.getPropertyCSSValue()

Obsolete
This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.

The CSSStyleDeclaration.getPropertyCSSValue() method interface returns a CSSValue containing the CSS value for a property. Note that it returns null if the property name is a shorthand property.

Syntax

var value = style.getPropertyCSSValue(property);

Parameters

property is a DOMString representing the property name to be retrieved.

Return value

value is a CSSValue containing the CSS value for a property. If none exists, returns null.

Example

The following JavaScript code gets an object containing the computed RGB values of the color CSS property:

var style = window.getComputedStyle(elem, null);
var rgbObj = style.getPropertyCSSValue('color').getRGBColorValue();
