Changing CSS Values With JavaScript

Changing CSS Values with Javascript

Ok, it sounds like you want to change the global CSS so which will effictively change all elements of a peticular style at once. I've recently learned how to do this myself from a Shawn Olson tutorial. You can directly reference his code here.

Here is the summary:

You can retrieve the stylesheets via document.styleSheets. This will actually return an array of all the stylesheets in your page, but you can tell which one you are on via the document.styleSheets[styleIndex].href property. Once you have found the stylesheet you want to edit, you need to get the array of rules. This is called "rules" in IE and "cssRules" in most other browsers. The way to tell what CSSRule you are on is by the selectorText property. The working code looks something like this:

var cssRuleCode = document.all ? 'rules' : 'cssRules'; //account for IE and FF
var rule = document.styleSheets[styleIndex][cssRuleCode][ruleIndex];
var selector = rule.selectorText;  //maybe '#tId'
var value = rule.value;            //both selectorText and value are settable.

Let me know how this works for ya, and please comment if you see any errors.

Changing CSS properties via JavaScript

The stylesheets can be manipulated directly in JS with the document.styleSheets list.

Example:

<html>
<head>
<title>Modifying a stylesheet rule with CSSOM</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
 background-color: red;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
var stylesheet = document.styleSheets[1];
stylesheet.cssRules[0].style.backgroundColor="blue";
</script>
<body>
The stylesheet declaration for the body's background color is modified via JavaScript.
</body>
</html>
