I have been testing the Javascript CSS functions today and noticed that when .style.cssText is used it only gives me the CSS that i set with JS.
I instead wanted to get all of the CSS for the elements so i am guessing that i am doing something wrong or perhaps need another function instead like getComputedStyle but for the whole CSS rather than single property values but i cannot find what i need when searching.
So my question is how can i get the full CSS from the last part of my code like:
background-color: #ffcccc; font-family:"Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: #ff0000;
instead of the current shorter CSS that is output?
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
.MyDiv001 {
background-color: #ffcccc;
font-family:"Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
}
.MyDiv002 {
background-color: #ccffcc;
font-family:"Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="MyDiv001" class="MyDiv001">This is MyDiv001</div>
<div id="MyDiv002" class="MyDiv002">This is MyDiv002</div>
<br /><hr><br />
<script type="text/javascript">
// Select the MyDiv001 element
var MyDiv001 = document.getElementById("MyDiv001"); // Select MyDiv001
// Set some style property values for MyDiv001
MyDiv001.style.setProperty("font-size", "13px", null);
MyDiv001.style.setProperty("color", "#ff0000", null);
// Get the Computed Style for MyDiv001
var MyDiv001Style = window.getComputedStyle(MyDiv001);
// Show the MyDiv001 style property values
document.write( "MyDiv001 background-color = " + MyDiv001Style.getPropertyValue("background-color") + "<br />");
document.write( "MyDiv001 font-family = " + MyDiv001Style.getPropertyValue("font-family") + "<br />");
document.write( "MyDiv001 font-size = " + MyDiv001Style.getPropertyValue("font-size") + "<br /><br />");
// Select the MyDiv002 element
var MyDiv002 = document.getElementById("MyDiv002"); // Select MyDiv002
// Set some style property values for MyDiv002
MyDiv002.style.setProperty("font-size", "16px", null);
MyDiv002.style.setProperty("color", "#0000ff", null);
// Get the Computed Style for MyDiv002
var MyDiv002Style = window.getComputedStyle(MyDiv002);
// Show the MyDiv002 style property values
document.write( "MyDiv002 background-color = " + MyDiv002Style.getPropertyValue("background-color") + "<br />");
document.write( "MyDiv002 font-family = " + MyDiv002Style.getPropertyValue("font-family") + "<br />");
document.write( "MyDiv002 font-size = " + MyDiv002Style.getPropertyValue("font-size") + "<br /><br />");
// Not what i was expecting
document.write( "MyDiv001 CSS = " + MyDiv001.style.cssText+ "<br />"); // How do i get the full css?
document.write( "MyDiv002 CSS = " + MyDiv002.style.cssText+ "<br />"); // How do i get the full css?
</script>
</body>
</html>
Edit - I would like a answer that uses regular Javascript if possible, hopefully a fixed version of my code and the reason why it does not return the full CSS, thanks.
