DOM Level 2 CSS2

Properties

This interface defines a large number of properties: one property for each CSS attribute defined by the CSS2 specification. The property names correspond closely to the CSS attribute names, with minor changes required to avoid syntax errors in JavaScript. Multiword attributes that contain hyphens, such as "font-family," are written without hyphens in JavaScript, and each word after the first is capitalized: fontFamily. Also, the "float" attribute conflicts with the reserved word float, so it translates to the property cssFloat.

The complete set of properties is listed in the following table. Since the properties correspond directly to CSS attributes, no individual documentation is given for each property. See a CSS reference, such as Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide, by Eric A. Meyer (O'Reilly), for the meaning and legal values of each. All of the properties are strings. Setting any of these properties may throw the same exceptions, for the same reasons as a call to CSSStyleDeclaration.setProperty( ).

Description

This interface defines one property for each CSS attribute defined by the CSS2 specification. If the DOM implementation supports this interface (which is part of the "CSS2" feature), all CSSStyleDeclaration objects also implement CSS2Properties. Reading one of the properties defined by this interface is equivalent to calling getPropertyValue( ) for the corresponding CSS attribute, and setting the value of one of these properties is equivalent to calling setProperty( ) for the corresponding attribute. The properties defined by CSS2Properties include properties that correspond to CSS shortcut attributes, and CSS2Properties handles these shortcut properties correctly.
