SVGStyleElement: sheet property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since March 2023.
The SVGStyleElement.sheet read-only property returns the CSSStyleSheet corresponding to the given SVG style element, or null if there is none.
Value
A CSSStyleSheet, or null if the element has no associated style sheet.
Examples
This example demonstrates how to get the CSS sheet associated with an element.
HTML
The HTML contains an SVG definition for a <circle>.
<textarea id="log" rows="3" cols="50"></textarea>
<svg
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="25" />
</svg>
JavaScript
The code below creates a style element (an SVGStyleElement) and adds it to the SVG.
const svg = document.querySelector("svg");
// Create the `style` element in the SVG namespace
const style = document.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", "style");
const node = document.createTextNode("circle { fill: red; }");
svg.appendChild(style);
style.appendChild(node);
The code below then logs the sheet and CSS rule associated with this new element, using style.sheet.
To make
// Log the sheet associated with this new element.
const log = document.getElementById("log");
log.value = `${style.sheet} with rules[0].cssText:\n ${style.sheet.rules[0].cssText}`;
Result
The result is shown below.
On success, the log shows the CSSStyleSheet object applied to the SVG circle.
