Name
createStyleSheet( ) — NN n/a IE 4 DOM n/a
Synopsis
createStyleSheet([”url
“[, index
]])
Creates and adds a new style sheet for the document. This is also the
method you can use to dynamically load an external style sheet after
the document has already loaded. To do so, specify the URL of the
external .css file as the first parameter. If
you’d rather script the addition of individual style sheet
rules, you can do so in the Win32 version only. Specify an empty
string for the first parameter and then use the addRule( )
method for the styleSheet
object for
each rule you wish to dynamically add to the style sheet.
Returned Value
styleSheet
object reference (but
null
in IE 4/Macintosh, preventing further
assignments of rules).
Parameters
-
url
A string of the URL of an external .css style sheet definition file.
-
index
Optional zero-based integer that indicates where among the
styleSheets[]
collection this new style sheet should be inserted. Default behavior is to append to the end of the collection, but this may affect cascading rules for your document. See Chapter 3.
