1. Document Object Model Style Sheets

Editors: Chris Wilson, Microsoft Corp.; Philippe Le Hégaret, W3C; Vidur Apparao, Netscape Communications Corp.

1.1. Introduction

The DOM Level 2 Style Sheet interfaces are base interfaces used to represent any type of style sheet. The expectation is that DOM modules that represent a specific style sheet language may contain interfaces that derive from these interfaces.

The interfaces found within this section are not mandatory. A DOM application may use the hasFeature(feature, version) method of the DOMImplementation interface with parameter values "StyleSheets" and "2.0" (respectively) to determine whether or not this module is supported by the implementation. In order to fully support this module, an implementation must also support the "Core" feature defined defined in the DOM 2 Core specification [DOM Level 2 Core]. Please refer to additional information about conformance in the DOM Level 2 Core specification [DOM Level 2 Core].

1.2. Style Sheet Interfaces

This set of interfaces represents the generic notion of style sheets.

Interface StyleSheet (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The StyleSheet interface is the abstract base interface for any type of style sheet. It represents a single style sheet associated with a structured document. In HTML, the StyleSheet interface represents either an external style sheet, included via the HTML LINK element, or an inline STYLE element. In XML, this interface represents an external style sheet, included via a style sheet processing instruction.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface StyleSheet {
  readonly attribute DOMString        type;
           attribute boolean          disabled;
  readonly attribute Node             ownerNode;
  readonly attribute StyleSheet       parentStyleSheet;
  readonly attribute DOMString        href;
  readonly attribute DOMString        title;
  readonly attribute MediaList        media;
};

Attributes

disabled of type boolean: false if the style sheet is applied to the document. true if it is not. Modifying this attribute may cause a new resolution of style for the document. A stylesheet only applies if both an appropriate medium definition is present and the disabled attribute is false. So, if the media doesn't apply to the current user agent, the disabled attribute is ignored.
href of type DOMString, readonly: If the style sheet is a linked style sheet, the value of its attribute is its location. For inline style sheets, the value of this attribute is null. See the href attribute definition for the LINK element in HTML 4.0, and the href pseudo-attribute for the XML style sheet processing instruction.
media of type MediaList, readonly: The intended destination media for style information. The media is often specified in the ownerNode. If no media has been specified, the MediaList will be empty. See the media attribute definition for the LINK element in HTML 4.0, and the media pseudo-attribute for the XML style sheet processing instruction . Modifying the media list may cause a change to the attribute disabled.
ownerNode of type Node, readonly: The node that associates this style sheet with the document. For HTML, this may be the corresponding LINK or STYLE element. For XML, it may be the linking processing instruction. For style sheets that are included by other style sheets, the value of this attribute is null.
parentStyleSheet of type StyleSheet, readonly: For style sheet languages that support the concept of style sheet inclusion, this attribute represents the including style sheet, if one exists. If the style sheet is a top-level style sheet, or the style sheet language does not support inclusion, the value of this attribute is null.
title of type DOMString, readonly: The advisory title. The title is often specified in the ownerNode. See the title attribute definition for the LINK element in HTML 4.0, and the title pseudo-attribute for the XML style sheet processing instruction.
type of type DOMString, readonly: This specifies the style sheet language for this style sheet. The style sheet language is specified as a content type (e.g. "text/css"). The content type is often specified in the ownerNode. Also see the type attribute definition for the LINK element in HTML 4.0, and the type pseudo-attribute for the XML style sheet processing instruction.

Interface StyleSheetList (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The StyleSheetList interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of style sheets.

The items in the StyleSheetList are accessible via an integral index, starting from 0.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface StyleSheetList {
  readonly attribute unsigned long    length;
  StyleSheet         item(in unsigned long index);
};

Attributes

length of type unsigned long, readonly: The number of StyleSheets in the list. The range of valid child stylesheet indices is 0 to length-1 inclusive.

Methods

item

Used to retrieve a style sheet by ordinal index. If index is greater than or equal to the number of style sheets in the list, this returns null.

Parameters

index of type unsigned long: Index into the collection

Return Value

StyleSheet

The style sheet at the index position in the StyleSheetList, or null if that is not a valid index.

No Exceptions

Interface MediaList (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The MediaList interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of media, without defining or constraining how this collection is implemented. An empty list is the same as a list that contains the medium "all".

The items in the MediaList are accessible via an integral index, starting from 0.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface MediaList {
           attribute DOMString        mediaText;
                                        // raises(DOMException) on setting

  readonly attribute unsigned long    length;
  DOMString          item(in unsigned long index);
  void               deleteMedium(in DOMString oldMedium)
                                        raises(DOMException);
  void               appendMedium(in DOMString newMedium)
                                        raises(DOMException);
};

Attributes

length of type unsigned long, readonly

The number of media in the list. The range of valid media is 0 to length-1 inclusive.

mediaText of type DOMString

The parsable textual representation of the media list. This is a comma-separated list of media.

Exceptions on setting

DOMException

SYNTAX_ERR: Raised if the specified string value has a syntax error and is unparsable.

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this media list is readonly.

Methods

appendMedium

Adds the medium newMedium to the end of the list. If the newMedium is already used, it is first removed.

Parameters

newMedium of type DOMString: The new medium to add.

Exceptions

DOMException

INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: If the medium contains characters that are invalid in the underlying style language.

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this list is readonly.

No Return Value

deleteMedium

Deletes the medium indicated by oldMedium from the list.

Parameters

oldMedium of type DOMString: The medium to delete in the media list.

Exceptions

DOMException

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this list is readonly.

NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if oldMedium is not in the list.

No Return Value

item

Returns the indexth in the list. If index is greater than or equal to the number of media in the list, this returns null.

Parameters

index of type unsigned long: Index into the collection.

Return Value

DOMString

The medium at the indexth position in the MediaList, or null if that is not a valid index.

No Exceptions

1.3. Document Extensions

Interface LinkStyle (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The LinkStyle interface provides a mechanism by which a style sheet can be retrieved from the node responsible for linking it into a document. An instance of the LinkStyle interface can be obtained using binding-specific casting methods on an instance of a linking node (HTMLLinkElement, HTMLStyleElement or ProcessingInstruction in DOM Level 2).

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface LinkStyle {
  readonly attribute StyleSheet       sheet;
};

Attributes

sheet of type StyleSheet, readonly: The style sheet.

Interface DocumentStyle (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The DocumentStyle interface provides a mechanism by which the style sheets embedded in a document can be retrieved. The expectation is that an instance of the DocumentStyle interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on an instance of the Document interface.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface DocumentStyle {
  readonly attribute StyleSheetList   styleSheets;
};

Attributes

styleSheets of type StyleSheetList, readonly: A list containing all the style sheets explicitly linked into or embedded in a document. For HTML documents, this includes external style sheets, included via the HTML LINK element, and inline STYLE elements. In XML, this includes external style sheets, included via style sheet processing instructions (see [XML-StyleSheet]).

1.4. Association between a style sheet and a document.

HTML and Style Sheet Creation

A style sheet can be associated with an HTMLDocument in one of two ways:

By creating a new LINK HTML element (see the HTMLLinkElement interface in the [DOM Level 2 HTML] and [HTML4.0]). The underlying style sheet will be created after the element is inserted into the document and both the href and the type attribute have been set in a way indicating that the linked object is a style sheet.
By creating a new STYLE HTML element (see the HTMLStyleElement interface in the [DOM Level 2 HTML] and [HTML4.0]). The underlying style sheet will be created after the element is inserted into the document and the type attribute is set in a way indicating that the element corresponds to a style sheet language interpreted by the user agent.

HTML and Style Sheet Removal

Removing a LINK HTML element or a STYLE HTML element removes the underlying style sheet from the style sheet collection associated with a document. Specifically, the removed style sheet is no longer applied to the presentation of the document.

XML and Style Sheet Creation

A new style sheet can be created and associated with an XML document by creating a processing instruction with the target 'xml-stylesheet' [XML-StyleSheet] and inserting it into the document.

XML and Style Sheet Removal

Removing a processing instruction with a target of 'xml-stylesheet' [XML-StyleSheet] removes the underlying style sheet from the style sheet collection associated with a document. Specifically, the removed style sheet is no longer applied to the presentation of the document.

2. Document Object Model CSS

Editors: Chris Wilson, Microsoft Corp.; Philippe Le Hégaret, W3C; Vidur Apparao, Netscape Communications Corp.

2.1. Overview of the DOM Level 2 CSS Interfaces

The DOM Level 2 Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) interfaces are designed with the goal of exposing CSS constructs to object model consumers. Cascading Style Sheets is a declarative syntax for defining presentation rules, properties and ancillary constructs used to format and render Web documents. This document specifies a mechanism to programmatically access and modify the rich style and presentation control provided by CSS (specifically CSS level 2 [CSS2]). This augments CSS by providing a mechanism to dynamically control the inclusion and exclusion of individual style sheets, as well as manipulate CSS rules and properties.

The CSS interfaces are organized in a logical, rather than physical structure. A collection of all style sheets referenced by or embedded in the document is accessible on the document interface. Each item in this collection exposes the properties common to all style sheets referenced or embedded in HTML and XML documents; this interface is described in the Document Object Model Style Sheets. User style sheets are not accessible through this collection, in part due to potential privacy concerns (and certainly read-write issues).

For each CSS style sheet, an additional interface is exposed - the CSSStyleSheet interface. This interface allows access to the collection of rules within a CSS style sheet and methods to modify that collection. Interfaces are provided for each specific type of rule in CSS2 (e.g. style declarations, @import rules, or @font-face rules), as well as a shared generic CSSRule interface.

The most common type of rule is a style declaration. The CSSStyleRule interface that represents this type of rule provides string access to the CSS selector of the rule, and access to the property declarations through the CSSStyleDeclaration interface.

Finally, an optional CSS2Properties interface is described; this interface (if implemented) provides shortcuts to the string values of all the properties in CSS level 2.

All CSS objects in the DOM are "live", that is, a change in the style sheet is reflected in the computed and actual style.

2.2. CSS Fundamental Interfaces

The interfaces within this section are considered fundamental CSS interfaces, and must be supported by all conforming implementations of the CSS module. These interfaces represent CSS style sheets specifically.

A DOM application may use the hasFeature(feature, version) method of the DOMImplementation interface with parameter values "CSS" and "2.0" (respectively) to determine whether or not this module is supported by the implementation. In order to fully support this module, an implementation must also support the "Core" feature defined defined in the DOM Level 2 Core specification [DOM Level 2 Core] and the "Views" feature defined in the DOM Level 2 Views specification [DOM Level 2 Views]. Please refer to additional information about conformance in the DOM Level 2 Core specification [DOM Level 2 Core].

Interface CSSStyleSheet (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The CSSStyleSheet interface is a concrete interface used to represent a CSS style sheet i.e., a style sheet whose content type is "text/css".

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface CSSStyleSheet : stylesheets::StyleSheet {
  readonly attribute CSSRule          ownerRule;
  readonly attribute CSSRuleList      cssRules;
  unsigned long      insertRule(in DOMString rule, 
                                in unsigned long index)
                                        raises(DOMException);
  void               deleteRule(in unsigned long index)
                                        raises(DOMException);
};

Attributes

cssRules of type CSSRuleList, readonly: The list of all CSS rules contained within the style sheet. This includes both rule sets and at-rules.
ownerRule of type CSSRule, readonly: If this style sheet comes from an @import rule, the ownerRule attribute will contain the CSSImportRule. In that case, the ownerNode attribute in the StyleSheet interface will be null. If the style sheet comes from an element or a processing instruction, the ownerRule attribute will be null and the ownerNode attribute will contain the Node.

Methods

deleteRule

Used to delete a rule from the style sheet.

Parameters

index of type unsigned long: The index within the style sheet's rule list of the rule to remove.

Exceptions

DOMException

INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified index does not correspond to a rule in the style sheet's rule list.

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this style sheet is readonly.

No Return Value

insertRule

Used to insert a new rule into the style sheet. The new rule now becomes part of the cascade.

Parameters

rule of type DOMString: The parsable text representing the rule. For rule sets this contains both the selector and the style declaration. For at-rules, this specifies both the at-identifier and the rule content.
index of type unsigned long: The index within the style sheet's rule list of the rule before which to insert the specified rule. If the specified index is equal to the length of the style sheet's rule collection, the rule will be added to the end of the style sheet.

Return Value

unsigned long

The index within the style sheet's rule collection of the newly inserted rule.

Exceptions

DOMException

HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if the rule cannot be inserted at the specified index e.g. if an @import rule is inserted after a standard rule set or other at-rule.

INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified index is not a valid insertion point.

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this style sheet is readonly.

SYNTAX_ERR: Raised if the specified rule has a syntax error and is unparsable.

Interface CSSRuleList (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The CSSRuleList interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of CSS rules.

The items in the CSSRuleList are accessible via an integral index, starting from 0.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface CSSRuleList {
  readonly attribute unsigned long    length;
  CSSRule            item(in unsigned long index);
};

Attributes

length of type unsigned long, readonly: The number of CSSRules in the list. The range of valid child rule indices is 0 to length-1 inclusive.

Methods

item

Used to retrieve a CSS rule by ordinal index. The order in this collection represents the order of the rules in the CSS style sheet. If index is greater than or equal to the number of rules in the list, this returns null.

Parameters

index of type unsigned long: Index into the collection

Return Value

CSSRule

The style rule at the index position in the CSSRuleList, or null if that is not a valid index.

No Exceptions

Interface CSSRule (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The CSSRule interface is the abstract base interface for any type of CSS statement. This includes both rule sets and at-rules. An implementation is expected to preserve all rules specified in a CSS style sheet, even if the rule is not recognized by the parser. Unrecognized rules are represented using the CSSUnknownRule interface.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface CSSRule {

  // RuleType
  const unsigned short      UNKNOWN_RULE                   = 0;

Interface CSSCharsetRule (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The CSSCharsetRule interface represents a @charset rule in a CSS style sheet. The value of the encoding attribute does not affect the encoding of text data in the DOM objects; this encoding is always UTF-16. After a stylesheet is loaded, the value of the encoding attribute is the value found in the @charset rule. If there was no @charset in the original document, then no CSSCharsetRule is created. The value of the encoding attribute may also be used as a hint for the encoding used on serialization of the style sheet.

The value of the @charset rule (and therefore of the CSSCharsetRule) may not correspond to the encoding the document actually came in; character encoding information e.g. in an HTTP header, has priority (see CSS document representation) but this is not reflected in the CSSCharsetRule.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface CSSCharsetRule : CSSRule {
           attribute DOMString        encoding;
                                        // raises(DOMException) on setting

};

Attributes

encoding of type DOMString

The encoding information used in this @charset rule.

Exceptions on setting

DOMException

SYNTAX_ERR: Raised if the specified encoding value has a syntax error and is unparsable.

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this encoding rule is readonly.

Interface CSSUnknownRule (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The CSSUnknownRule interface represents an at-rule not supported by this user agent.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface CSSUnknownRule : CSSRule {
};

Interface CSSStyleDeclaration (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The CSSStyleDeclaration interface represents a single CSS declaration block. This interface may be used to determine the style properties currently set in a block or to set style properties explicitly within the block.

While an implementation may not recognize all CSS properties within a CSS declaration block, it is expected to provide access to all specified properties in the style sheet through the CSSStyleDeclaration interface. Furthermore, implementations that support a specific level of CSS should correctly handle CSS shorthand properties for that level. For a further discussion of shorthand properties, see the CSS2Properties interface.

This interface is also used to provide a read-only access to the computed values of an element. See also the ViewCSS interface.

Note: The CSS Object Model doesn't provide an access to the specified or actual values of the CSS cascade.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface CSSStyleDeclaration {
           attribute DOMString        cssText;
                                        // raises(DOMException) on setting

  DOMString          getPropertyValue(in DOMString propertyName);
  CSSValue           getPropertyCSSValue(in DOMString propertyName);
  DOMString          removeProperty(in DOMString propertyName)
                                        raises(DOMException);
  DOMString          getPropertyPriority(in DOMString propertyName);
  void               setProperty(in DOMString propertyName, 
                                 in DOMString value, 
                                 in DOMString priority)
                                        raises(DOMException);
  readonly attribute unsigned long    length;
  DOMString          item(in unsigned long index);
  readonly attribute CSSRule          parentRule;
};

Attributes

cssText of type DOMString

The parsable textual representation of the declaration block (excluding the surrounding curly braces). Setting this attribute will result in the parsing of the new value and resetting of all the properties in the declaration block including the removal or addition of properties.

Exceptions on setting

DOMException

SYNTAX_ERR: Raised if the specified CSS string value has a syntax error and is unparsable.

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this declaration is readonly or a property is readonly.

length of type unsigned long, readonly

The number of properties that have been explicitly set in this declaration block. The range of valid indices is 0 to length-1 inclusive.

parentRule of type CSSRule, readonly

The CSS rule that contains this declaration block or null if this CSSStyleDeclaration is not attached to a CSSRule.

Methods

getPropertyCSSValue

Used to retrieve the object representation of the value of a CSS property if it has been explicitly set within this declaration block. This method returns null if the property is a shorthand property. Shorthand property values can only be accessed and modified as strings, using the getPropertyValue and setProperty methods.

Parameters

propertyName of type DOMString: The name of the CSS property. See the CSS property index.

Return Value

CSSValue

Returns the value of the property if it has been explicitly set for this declaration block. Returns null if the property has not been set.

No Exceptions

Parameters

propertyName of type DOMString: The name of the CSS property. See the CSS property index.

Return Value

DOMString

A string representing the priority (e.g. "important") if one exists. The empty string if none exists.

No Exceptions

Parameters

propertyName of type DOMString: The name of the CSS property. See the CSS property index.

Return Value

DOMString

Returns the value of the property if it has been explicitly set for this declaration block. Returns the empty string if the property has not been set.

No Exceptions

item

Used to retrieve the properties that have been explicitly set in this declaration block. The order of the properties retrieved using this method does not have to be the order in which they were set. This method can be used to iterate over all properties in this declaration block.

Parameters

index of type unsigned long: Index of the property name to retrieve.

Return Value

DOMString

The name of the property at this ordinal position. The empty string if no property exists at this position.

No Exceptions

Parameters

propertyName of type DOMString: The name of the CSS property. See the CSS property index.

Return Value

DOMString

Returns the value of the property if it has been explicitly set for this declaration block. Returns the empty string if the property has not been set or the property name does not correspond to a known CSS property.

Exceptions

DOMException

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this declaration is readonly or the property is readonly.

setProperty

Used to set a property value and priority within this declaration block.

Parameters

propertyName of type DOMString: The name of the CSS property. See the CSS property index.
value of type DOMString: The new value of the property.
priority of type DOMString: The new priority of the property (e.g. "important").

No Return Value

Interface CSSValue (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The CSSValue interface represents a simple or a complex value. A CSSValue object only occurs in a context of a CSS property.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface CSSValue {

  // UnitTypes
  const unsigned short      CSS_INHERIT                    = 0;

  readonly attribute unsigned short   cssValueType;
};

Definition group UnitTypes

An integer indicating which type of unit applies to the value.

Defined Constants

CSS_CUSTOM: The value is a custom value.
CSS_INHERIT: The value is inherited and the cssText contains "inherit".
CSS_PRIMITIVE_VALUE: The value is a primitive value and an instance of the CSSPrimitiveValue interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on this instance of the CSSValue interface.
CSS_VALUE_LIST: The value is a CSSValue list and an instance of the CSSValueList interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on this instance of the CSSValue interface.

Attributes

cssText of type DOMString

A string representation of the current value.

Exceptions on setting

DOMException

SYNTAX_ERR: Raised if the specified CSS string value has a syntax error (according to the attached property) or is unparsable.

INVALID_MODIFICATION_ERR: Raised if the specified CSS string value represents a different type of values than the values allowed by the CSS property.

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this value is readonly.

cssValueType of type unsigned short, readonly

A code defining the type of the value as defined above.

Interface CSSPrimitiveValue (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The CSSPrimitiveValue interface represents a single CSS value. This interface may be used to determine the value of a specific style property currently set in a block or to set a specific style property explicitly within the block. An instance of this interface might be obtained from the getPropertyCSSValue method of the CSSStyleDeclaration interface. A CSSPrimitiveValue object only occurs in a context of a CSS property.

Conversions are allowed between absolute values (from millimeters to centimeters, from degrees to radians, and so on) but not between relative values. (For example, a pixel value cannot be converted to a centimeter value.) Percentage values can't be converted since they are relative to the parent value (or another property value). There is one exception for color percentage values: since a color percentage value is relative to the range 0-255, a color percentage value can be converted to a number; (see also the RGBColor interface).

No Return Value

Interface CSSValueList (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The CSSValueList interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of CSS values.

Some properties allow an empty list into their syntax. In that case, these properties take the none identifier. So, an empty list means that the property has the value none.

The items in the CSSValueList are accessible via an integral index, starting from 0.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface CSSValueList : CSSValue {
  readonly attribute unsigned long    length;
  CSSValue           item(in unsigned long index);
};

Attributes

length of type unsigned long, readonly: The number of CSSValues in the list. The range of valid values of the indices is 0 to length-1 inclusive.

Methods

item

Used to retrieve a CSSValue by ordinal index. The order in this collection represents the order of the values in the CSS style property. If index is greater than or equal to the number of values in the list, this returns null.

Parameters

index of type unsigned long: Index into the collection.

Return Value

CSSValue

The CSSValue at the index position in the CSSValueList, or null if that is not a valid index.

No Exceptions

Interface RGBColor (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The RGBColor interface is used to represent any RGB color value. This interface reflects the values in the underlying style property. Hence, modifications made to the CSSPrimitiveValue objects modify the style property.

A specified RGB color is not clipped (even if the number is outside the range 0-255 or 0%-100%). A computed RGB color is clipped depending on the device.

Even if a style sheet can only contain an integer for a color value, the internal storage of this integer is a float, and this can be used as a float in the specified or the computed style.

A color percentage value can always be converted to a number and vice versa.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface RGBColor {
  readonly attribute CSSPrimitiveValue  red;
  readonly attribute CSSPrimitiveValue  green;
  readonly attribute CSSPrimitiveValue  blue;
};

Attributes

blue of type CSSPrimitiveValue, readonly: This attribute is used for the blue value of the RGB color.
green of type CSSPrimitiveValue, readonly: This attribute is used for the green value of the RGB color.
red of type CSSPrimitiveValue, readonly: This attribute is used for the red value of the RGB color.

Interface Rect (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The Rect interface is used to represent any rect value. This interface reflects the values in the underlying style property. Hence, modifications made to the CSSPrimitiveValue objects modify the style property.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface Rect {
  readonly attribute CSSPrimitiveValue  top;
  readonly attribute CSSPrimitiveValue  right;
  readonly attribute CSSPrimitiveValue  bottom;
  readonly attribute CSSPrimitiveValue  left;
};

Attributes

bottom of type CSSPrimitiveValue, readonly: This attribute is used for the bottom of the rect.
left of type CSSPrimitiveValue, readonly: This attribute is used for the left of the rect.
right of type CSSPrimitiveValue, readonly: This attribute is used for the right of the rect.
top of type CSSPrimitiveValue, readonly: This attribute is used for the top of the rect.

Interface Counter (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The Counter interface is used to represent any counter or counters function value. This interface reflects the values in the underlying style property.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface Counter {
  readonly attribute DOMString        identifier;
  readonly attribute DOMString        listStyle;
  readonly attribute DOMString        separator;
};

Attributes

identifier of type DOMString, readonly: This attribute is used for the identifier of the counter.
listStyle of type DOMString, readonly: This attribute is used for the style of the list.
separator of type DOMString, readonly: This attribute is used for the separator of the nested counters.

2.2.1. Override and computed style sheet

Interface ViewCSS (introduced in DOM Level 2)

This interface represents a CSS view. The getComputedStyle method provides a read only access to the computed values of an element.

The expectation is that an instance of the ViewCSS interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on an instance of the AbstractView interface.

Since a computed style is related to an Element node, if this element is removed from the document, the associated CSSStyleDeclaration and CSSValue related to this declaration are no longer valid.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface ViewCSS : views::AbstractView {
  CSSStyleDeclaration getComputedStyle(in Element elt, 
                                       in DOMString pseudoElt);
};

Methods

getComputedStyle

This method is used to get the computed style as it is defined in [CSS2].

Parameters

elt of type Element: The element whose style is to be computed. This parameter cannot be null.
pseudoElt of type DOMString: The pseudo-element or null if none.

Return Value

CSSStyleDeclaration

The computed style. The CSSStyleDeclaration is read-only and contains only absolute values.

No Exceptions

Interface DocumentCSS (introduced in DOM Level 2)

This interface represents a document with a CSS view.

The getOverrideStyle method provides a mechanism through which a DOM author could effect immediate change to the style of an element without modifying the explicitly linked style sheets of a document or the inline style of elements in the style sheets. This style sheet comes after the author style sheet in the cascade algorithm and is called override style sheet. The override style sheet takes precedence over author style sheets. An "!important" declaration still takes precedence over a normal declaration. Override, author, and user style sheets all may contain "!important" declarations. User "!important" rules take precedence over both override and author "!important" rules, and override "!important" rules take precedence over author "!important" rules.

The expectation is that an instance of the DocumentCSS interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on an instance of the Document interface.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface DocumentCSS : stylesheets::DocumentStyle {
  CSSStyleDeclaration getOverrideStyle(in Element elt, 
                                       in DOMString pseudoElt);
};

Methods

getOverrideStyle

This method is used to retrieve the override style declaration for a specified element and a specified pseudo-element.

Parameters

elt of type Element: The element whose style is to be modified. This parameter cannot be null.
pseudoElt of type DOMString: The pseudo-element or null if none.

Return Value

CSSStyleDeclaration

The override style declaration.

No Exceptions

2.2.2. Style sheet creation

Interface DOMImplementationCSS (introduced in DOM Level 2)

This interface allows the DOM user to create a CSSStyleSheet outside the context of a document. There is no way to associate the new CSSStyleSheet with a document in DOM Level 2.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM   Level 2:
interface DOMImplementationCSS : DOMImplementation {
  CSSStyleSheet      createCSSStyleSheet(in DOMString title, 
                                         in DOMString media)
                                        raises(DOMException);
};

2.2.3. Element with CSS inline style

Interface ElementCSSInlineStyle (introduced in DOM Level 2)

Inline style information attached to elements is exposed through the style attribute. This represents the contents of the STYLE attribute for HTML elements (or elements in other schemas or DTDs which use the STYLE attribute in the same way). The expectation is that an instance of the ElementCSSInlineStyle interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on an instance of the Element interface when the element supports inline CSS style informations.

IDL Definition

// Introduced in DOM Level 2:
interface ElementCSSInlineStyle {
  readonly attribute CSSStyleDeclaration  style;
};

Attributes

style of type CSSStyleDeclaration, readonly: The style attribute.

2.3. CSS2 Extended Interface

The interface found within this section are not mandatory. A DOM application may use the hasFeature(feature, version) method of the DOMImplementation interface with parameter values "CSS2" and "2.0" (respectively) to determine whether or not this module is supported by the implementation. In order to fully support this module, an implementation must also support the "CSS" feature defined defined in CSS Fundamental Interfaces. Please refer to additional information about conformance in the DOM Level 2 Core specification [DOM Level 2 Core].

Interface CSS2Properties (introduced in DOM Level 2)

The CSS2Properties interface represents a convenience mechanism for retrieving and setting properties within a CSSStyleDeclaration. The attributes of this interface correspond to all the properties specified in CSS2. Getting an attribute of this interface is equivalent to calling the getPropertyValue method of the CSSStyleDeclaration interface. Setting an attribute of this interface is equivalent to calling the setProperty method of the CSSStyleDeclaration interface.

A conformant implementation of the CSS module is not required to implement the CSS2Properties interface. If an implementation does implement this interface, the expectation is that language-specific methods can be used to cast from an instance of the CSSStyleDeclaration interface to the CSS2Properties interface.

If an implementation does implement this interface, it is expected to understand the specific syntax of the shorthand properties, and apply their semantics; when the margin property is set, for example, the marginTop, marginRight, marginBottom and marginLeft properties are actually being set by the underlying implementation.

When dealing with CSS "shorthand" properties, the shorthand properties should be decomposed into their component longhand properties as appropriate, and when querying for their value, the form returned should be the shortest form exactly equivalent to the declarations made in the ruleset. However, if there is no shorthand declaration that could be added to the ruleset without changing in any way the rules already declared in the ruleset (i.e., by adding longhand rules that were previously not declared in the ruleset), then the empty string should be returned for the shorthand property.

For example, querying for the font property should not return "normal normal normal 14pt/normal Arial, sans-serif", when "14pt Arial, sans-serif" suffices. (The normals are initial values, and are implied by use of the longhand property.)

If the values for all the longhand properties that compose a particular string are the initial values, then a string consisting of all the initial values should be returned (e.g. a border-width value of "medium" should be returned as such, not as "").

For some shorthand properties that take missing values from other sides, such as the margin, padding, and border-[width|style|color] properties, the minimum number of sides possible should be used; i.e., "0px 10px" will be returned instead of "0px 10px 0px 10px".

If the value of a shorthand property can not be decomposed into its component longhand properties, as is the case for the font property with a value of "menu", querying for the values of the component longhand properties should return the empty string.

Appendix C: ECMAScript Language Binding

This appendix contains the complete ECMAScript [ECMAScript] binding for the Level 2 Document Object Model Style definitions. The definitions are divided into StyleSheets and CSS.

Note: Exceptions handling is only supported by ECMAScript implementation conformant with the Standard ECMA-262 3rd. Edition ([ECMAScript]).

C.1: Document Object Model StyleSheets

Object StyleSheet

The StyleSheet object has the following properties:

type: This read-only property is of type String.
disabled: This property is of type Boolean.
ownerNode: This read-only property is a Node object.
parentStyleSheet: This read-only property is a StyleSheet object.
href: This read-only property is of type String.
title: This read-only property is of type String.
media: This read-only property is a MediaList object.

Object StyleSheetList

The StyleSheetList object has the following properties:

length: This read-only property is of type Number.

The StyleSheetList object has the following methods:

item(index): This method returns a StyleSheet object.
The index parameter is of type Number.
Note: This object can also be dereferenced using square bracket notation (e.g. obj[1]). Dereferencing with an integer index is equivalent to invoking the item method with that index.

Object MediaList

The MediaList object has the following properties:

mediaText: This property is of type String and can raise a DOMException object on setting.
length: This read-only property is of type Number.

The MediaList object has the following methods:

item(index): This method returns a String.
The index parameter is of type Number.
Note: This object can also be dereferenced using square bracket notation (e.g. obj[1]). Dereferencing with an integer index is equivalent to invoking the item method with that index.
deleteMedium(oldMedium): This method has no return value.
The oldMedium parameter is of type String.
This method can raise a DOMException object.
appendMedium(newMedium): This method has no return value.
The newMedium parameter is of type String.
This method can raise a DOMException object.

Object LinkStyle

The LinkStyle object has the following properties:

sheet: This read-only property is a StyleSheet object.

Object DocumentStyle

The DocumentStyle object has the following properties:

styleSheets: This read-only property is a StyleSheetList object.

C.2: Document Object Model CSS

Object CSSStyleSheet

CSSStyleSheet has the all the properties and methods of the StyleSheet object as well as the properties and methods defined below.

The CSSStyleSheet object has the following properties:

ownerRule: This read-only property is a CSSRule object.
cssRules: This read-only property is a CSSRuleList object.

The CSSStyleSheet object has the following methods:

insertRule(rule, index): This method returns a Number.
The rule parameter is of type String.
The index parameter is of type Number.
This method can raise a DOMException object.
deleteRule(index): This method has no return value.
The index parameter is of type Number.
This method can raise a DOMException object.

Object CSSRuleList

The CSSRuleList object has the following properties:

length: This read-only property is of type Number.

The CSSRuleList object has the following methods:

item(index): This method returns a CSSRule object.
The index parameter is of type Number.
Note: This object can also be dereferenced using square bracket notation (e.g. obj[1]). Dereferencing with an integer index is equivalent to invoking the item method with that index.

Prototype Object CSSRule

The CSSRule class has the following constants:

CSSRule.UNKNOWN_RULE: This constant is of type Number and its value is 0.
CSSRule.STYLE_RULE: This constant is of type Number and its value is 1.
CSSRule.CHARSET_RULE: This constant is of type Number and its value is 2.

D.1: Production Systems

This specification was written in XML. The HTML, OMG IDL, Java and ECMA Script bindings were all produced automatically.

Thanks to Joe English, author of cost, which was used as the basis for producing DOM Level 1. Thanks also to Gavin Nicol, who wrote the scripts which run on top of cost. Arnaud Le Hors and Philippe Le Hégaret maintained the scripts.

For DOM Level 2, we used Xerces as the basis DOM implementation and wish to thank the authors. Philippe Le Hégaret and Arnaud Le Hors wrote the Java programs which are the DOM application.

Thanks also to Jan Kärrman, author of html2ps, which we use in creating the PostScript version of the specification.
