Note : The StyleSheets collection is Internet Explorer 4.0 specific. For properties of Style Sheets, see the StyleSheet Object topic.
The StyleSheets collection is an ordered, indexed (by order in the source)
array, containing a reference to every
Style Sheet object
in the document. I.e. a collection of
<LINK>
and/or
<STYLE>
element.
StyleSheet Objects would normally be retrieved by their index in the StyleSheets
collection (for example document.StyleSheets[1] contains a reference
to the second stylesheet (which maybe from a <LINK> or
<STYLE> element), but a string value can be used, as long
as that string is a valid identifier (ID attribute value) for
a stylesheet element in the document.
length
The length property returns the number of stylesheet objects
in the collection. Note that the length count starts at 1, not
0 as the stylesheets collection index does. Therefore, the
length property may return a value of 5, but to access the 3rd
element, you'd need to use
document.stylesheets[2].property
item
The item method retrieves single items, or sub-collections from
the StyleSheets collection. It accepts the following arguments:
all.item(index, sub-index)
If index is a number, then the method returns a reference to
the stylesheet object at that position in the stylesheets collections index.
If the index property is a string value, then the
item method returns a sub-collection, containing a reference
to every stylesheet in the document that has its ID or
NAME attribute set to the string contained in the
index argument. To retrieve certain stylesheet objects from
this sub-collection, the sub-index argument must be used.
