CSSMediaRule: media property

Value

A MediaList object.

Although the media property itself is read-only in the sense that you can't replace the MediaList object, you can still assign to the media property directly, which is equivalent to assigning to its mediaText property. You can also modify the MediaList object using the appendMedium() and deleteMedium() methods.

Examples

The CSS includes a media query with one style rule. This will be the first CSSRule returned by document.styleSheets[0].cssRules. Calling myRules[0].media therefore returns a MediaList object representing the media query.

@media (width >= 500px) {
  body {
    color: blue;
  }
}

let myRules = document.styleSheets[0].cssRules;
console.log(myRules[0].media); // a MediaList
