The styleSheets read-only property of the Document interface returns a StyleSheetList of CSSStyleSheet objects, for stylesheets explicitly linked into or embedded in a document.

Value

The returned list is ordered as follows:

  • StyleSheets retrieved from Link headers are placed first, sorted in header order.
  • StyleSheets retrieved from the DOM are placed after, sorted in tree order.

Examples

js
function getStyleSheet(unique_title) {
  for (const sheet of document.styleSheets) {
    if (sheet.title === unique_title) {
      return sheet;
    }
  }
}
