<h2 class="no-num no-toc" id=abstract>Abstract</h2>
<p>The Cascading Style Sheets Object Model defines enables developers to
find style sheets associated with a <code>Document</code> and to query and
modify rules within a CSS style sheet (through an object model).
<h2 class="no-num no-toc" id=sotd>Status of this Document</h2>

<h2 id=introduction><span class=secno>1. </span>Introduction</h2>
<p class=issue>...
<h3 id=history><span class=secno>1.1. </span>History</h3>
<p>Several interfaces from DOM Level 2 Style <a
href="http://www.w3.org/mid/Pine.LNX.4.05.10310302134070.1173-100000@lanalana.inria.fr"
title="[CSSOM] CSSValue and related interfaces (message from the CSS
WG)">have been obsoleted</a> because they where thought to be too awkward
for frequent use. This specification no longer contains those features.
<code>DOMImplementationCSS</code> and <code>CSSCharsetRule</code> have
been removed as well as they were not deemed necessary.
<h2 id=conformance><span class=secno>2. </span>Conformance Requirements</h2>
<p>Everything in this specification is normative except for diagrams,
examples, notes and sections marked non-normative.
<p>The key words <em class=ct>must</em>, <em class=ct>must not</em>, <em
class=ct>required</em>, <em class=ct>shall</em>, <em class=ct>shall
not</em>, <em class=ct>should</em>, <em class=ct>should not</em>, <em
class=ct>recommended</em>, <em class=ct>may</em>, and <em
class=ct>optional</em> in the normative parts of this document are to be
interpreted as described in [<cite><a
href="#ref-rfc2119">RFC2119</a></cite>].
<p>The following conformance classes are defined (and considered) by this
specification:
<dl>
<dt><dfn id=conforming-implementation>conforming implementation</dfn>
<dd>A user agent that implements all interfaces described in this
specification and follows all <em class=ct>must</em>-, <em
class=ct>required</em>- and <em class=ct>shall</em>-level of criteria in
this specification.
<dt><dfn id=conforming-document>conforming document</dfn>
<dd>A document that follows all <em class=ct>must</em>-, <em
class=ct>required</em>- and <em class=ct>shall</em>-level of criteria in
this specification that apply to document authors.
<dt><dfn id=conforming-authoring-tool>conforming authoring tool</dfn>
<dd>One that produces conforming documents.
</dl>
<h3 id=terminology><span class=secno>2.1. </span>Terminology</h3>
<p>A <dfn id=color>color component integer</dfn> is a base-ten integer in
the range 0-255 using digits 0-9, U+0030 to U+0039, in the shortest form
possible.
<p>A <dfn id=color0>color component separator</dfn> is a literal U+002C
COMMA followed by a U+0020 SPACE.
<p>When this specification talks about object <code><var>A</var></code>
where <code><var>A</var></code> is actually an interface, it generally
means an object implementing interface <code><var>A</var></code>.</p>
<!--
<p>The term <dfn id="whitespace">whitespace</dfn> when used in this
specification refers to the U+0020 SPACE, U+0009 <control>, U+000A
<control>, U+000D <control> and U+000C <control> (if
applicable).</p>
-->
<p>The terms <dfn id=whitespace>whitespace</dfn> and <dfn
id=style-sheet>style sheet</dfn> are used as defined in the <cite>CSS 2.1
Specification</cite> [CSS21].
<p>A <dfn id=css-style-sheet>CSS style sheet</dfn> is a <a
href="#style-sheet">style sheet</a> that conforms to the CSS syntax rules.</p>
<!-- XXX: "Cascading Style Sheet style sheet" is just a joke... -->
<h2 id=style><span class=secno>3. </span>Style Sheets and the DOM</h2>
<h3 id=style0><span class=secno>3.1. </span>Style Sheet</h3>
<p>Each document has a collection of zero or more associated style sheets.
A <dfn id=style-sheet>style sheet</dfn> is represented by an object that
implements the <code><a href="#stylesheet">StyleSheet</a></code> interface
(as described below) and has a number of properties that need to be set
when a style sheet is created. These properties can be modified over time.
<dl>
<dt><dfn id=style-sheet-type>style sheet type</dfn>
<dd>
<p>A string that is the MIME type of the style sheet. [RFC2046].
<dt><dfn id=style-sheet-location>style sheet location</dfn>
<dd>
<p>A string that is the URI of the style sheet's location or the
<code>null</code> value if the style sheet was embedded within a
document.
<dt><dfn id=style-sheet-media>style sheet media</dfn>
<dd>
<p>A string with the media queries applicable to the style sheet. When
the style sheet is created the <code>mediaText</code> attribute returned
by the <code>media</code> attribute on the style sheet <em
class=ct>must</em> be set to this string.
<dt><dfn id=style-sheet-title>style sheet title</dfn>
<dd>
<p>A string that is the title of the style sheet. A style sheet is said
to <dfn id=have-a>have a title</dfn> if this string is not the empty
string.</p>
<div class=example>
<p>The following CSS style sheets have a style sheet title that is the
empty string:</p>
<pre><style title=""> body { background:lime } </style></pre>
<pre><style> body { background:lime } </style></pre>
</div>
<dt><dfn id=style-sheet-alternate-flag>style sheet alternate flag</dfn>
<dd>
<p>...</p>
<div class=example>
<p>The following style sheets have their style sheet alternate flag set
to <i>true</i>:</p>
<pre><?xml-stylesheet alternate="yes" title="x" href="data:text/css,…"?></pre>
<pre><link rel="alternate stylesheet" title="x" href="data:text/css,…"></pre>
</div>
<dt><dfn id=style2>style sheet disabled flag</dfn>
<dd>
<p>...</p>
<p class=note>This flag is independent of whether the style sheet is
actually applied. That depends on the style sheet media as well, for
instance.</p>
</dl>
<p>Specifications <em class=ct>must not</em> allow the creation of <a
href="#style-sheet" title="style sheet">style sheets</a> with the <a
href="#style-sheet-alternate-flag">style sheet alternate flag</a> set to
<i>true</i> and the <a href="#style-sheet-title">style sheet title</a> set
to the empty string. In addition they <em class=ct>must not</em> allow the
creation of <a href="#style-sheet" title="style sheet">style sheets</a>
for which the user agent does not support the style sheet language.

<div class=example>
<p>In the following HTML snippet the first HTML <code>style</code> element
has a <code>sheet</code> attribute that returns a <code><a

<p>For this interface, the <code>DOMString</code> values <code>null</code>
and "the empty string" are distinct and <em class=ct>must</em> not be
considered equivalent.

type <code><a href="#stylesheetlist">StyleSheetList</a></code>
<dd>
<p>This attribute <em class=ct>must</em> be a <code><a
href="#stylesheetlist">StyleSheetList</a></code> object containing a
collection of all <code><a href="#stylesheet">StyleSheet</a></code>
objects in document order (those returned by <code
title=linkstyle-sheet><a href="#linkstyle-sheet">sheet</a></code>
attribute on objects implementing the <code><a
href="#linkstyle">LinkStyle</a></code> interface) preceded by style
sheets introduced through the HTTP <code>Link</code> header.
<dt><dfn

of type <code>DOMString</code>
<dd>
<p>This attribute indicates which <a href="#style-sheet-set">style sheet
set</a> is in use. This attribute is <span>live</span>; changing the
<code title=stylesheet-disabled><a
href="#stylesheet-disabled">disabled</a></code> attribute on style
sheets directly will change the value of this attribute.</p>
<p>If all the sheets that are enabled and <a href="#have-a">have a
title</a> have the <em>same</em> title (by <span>case-sensitive</span>
comparisons) then the value of this attribute <em class=ct>must</em> be
exactly equal to the title of the first enabled style sheet with a title
in the <code><a href="#documentstyle-stylesheets">styleSheets</a></code>
list. Otherwise, if style sheets from different sets are enabled, then
the return value <em class=ct>must</em> be <code>null</code> (there is
no way to determine what the currently selected style sheet set is in
those conditions). Otherwise, either all style sheets that <a
href="#have-a">have a title</a> are disabled, or there are no
alternative style sheets, and <code><a
href="#documentstyle-selectedStyleSheetSet">selectedStyleSheetSet</a></code>
<em class=ct>must</em> return the empty string.</p>
<p>Setting this attribute to the <code>null</code> value <em
class=ct>must</em> have no effect.</p>
<p>Setting this attribute to a non-<code>null</code> value <em
class=ct>must</em> call <code
title=documentstyle-enablestylesheetsforset><a
href="#documentstyle-enablestylesheetsforset">enableStylesheetsForSet()</a></code>
with that value as the method's argument, and set <code><a
href="#documentstyle-lastStyleSheetSet">lastStyleSheetSet</a></code> to
that value.</p>
<p>From the DOM's perspective, all views have the same <code><a
href="#documentstyle-selectedStyleSheetSet">selectedStyleSheetSet</a></code>.
If a user agent supports multiple views with different selected
alternative style sheets, then this attribute (and the <code><a
href="#stylesheet">StyleSheet</a></code> interface's
<code>disabled</code> attribute) <em class=ct>must</em> return and set
the value for the default view.</p>
<dt><dfn
id=documentstyle-lastStyleSheetSet><code>lastStyleSheetSet</code></dfn>
of type <code>DOMString</code>, readonly
<dd>
<p>This attribute <em class=ct>must</em> initially have the value
<code>null</code>. Its value changes when the <code><a
href="#documentstyle-selectedStyleSheetSet">selectedStyleSheetSet</a></code>
attribute is set.</p>
<dt><dfn
id=documentstyle-preferredStyleSheetSet><code>preferredStyleSheetSet</code></dfn>
of type <code>DOMString</code>, readonly
<dd>
<p>This attribute <em class=ct>must</em> be the preferred style sheet set
as set by the author. It is determined from the order of style sheet
declarations and the <code>Default-Style</code> HTTP headers. If there
is no preferred style sheet set, this attribute <em class=ct>must</em>
be the empty string. The case of this attribute <em class=ct>must</em>
exactly match the case given by the author where the preferred style
sheet is specified or implied. This attribute <em class=ct>must</em>
never be <code>null</code>.</p>
<dt><dfn id=documentstyle-styleSheetSets><code>styleSheetSets</code></dfn>
of type <code>DOMStringList</code>, readonly
<dd>
<p>This <em class=ct>must</em> be a <span>live</span> list of the
currently available <span>style sheet sets</span>. This list is
constructed by enumerating all the style sheets for this document
available to the implementation, in the order they are listed in the
<code><a href="#documentstyle-stylesheets">styleSheets</a></code>
attribute, adding the title of each style sheet <a href="#have-a"
title="have a title">with a title</a> to the list, avoiding duplicates
by dropping titles that match (<span>case-sensitively</span>) titles
that have already been added to the list.</p>
<dt><dfn id=documentstyle-enablestylesheetsforset
title=documentstyle-enablestylesheetsforset><code>enableStylesheetsForSet(<var
title="">name</var>)</code></dfn>, method
<dd>
<p>Invoking this method <em class=ct>must</em> change the <code
title=stylesheet-disabled><a
href="#stylesheet-disabled">disabled</a></code> attribute on each
<code><a href="#stylesheet">StyleSheet</a></code> object <a
href="#have-a" title="have a title">with a title</a> in the <code><a
href="#documentstyle-stylesheets">styleSheets</a></code> attribute, so
that all those whose title matches the <var title="">name</var> argument
are enabled, and all others are disabled. Title matches <em
class=ct>must</em> be <span>case-sensitive</span>.</p>
<p>Invoking this method with the empty string value <em
class=ct>must</em> disable all alternative and preferred style sheets
(but does not change the state of persistent style sheets).</p>
<p>Invoking this method with the <code>null</code> value <em
class=ct>must</em> have no effect.</p>
<!-- fact: -->
<p>Style sheets that do not <a href="#have-a">have a title</a> are never
affected by this method. This method does not change the values of the
<code><a
href="#documentstyle-lastStyleSheetSet">lastStyleSheetSet</a></code> or
<code><a
href="#documentstyle-preferredStyleSheetSet">preferredStyleSheetSet</a></code>
attributes.</p>

<h3 id=dynamically><span class=secno>3.5. </span>Dynamically adding new
style sheets</h3>
<p>If new style sheets <a href="#have-a" title="have a title">with
titles</a> are added to the document, the user agent <em
class=ct>must</em> decide whether or not the style sheets should be
initially enabled or not. How this happens depends on the exact state of
the document at the time the style sheet is added, as follows.
<h4 id=adding><span class=secno>3.5.1. </span>Adding style sheets</h4>
<p>First, if the style sheet is a preferred style sheet (it <a
href="#have-a" title="have a title">has a title</a>, but is not marked as
alternative), and there is no current preferred style sheet (the <code><a
href="#documentstyle-preferredStyleSheetSet">preferredStyleSheetSet</a></code>
attribute is equal to the empty string) then the <code><a
href="#documentstyle-preferredStyleSheetSet">preferredStyleSheetSet</a></code>
attribute is set to the exact value of this style sheet's title. (This
changes the preferred style sheet set, which causes further changes
— see below.)
<p>Then, for all sheets, if any of the following is true, then the style
sheet <em class=ct>must</em> be enabled:
<ul>
<li>The style sheet has an empty title.
<li>The <code><a
href="#documentstyle-lastStyleSheetSet">lastStyleSheetSet</a></code> is
<code>null</code>, and the style sheet's title matches (by
<span>case-sensitive</span> match) the value of the <code><a
href="#documentstyle-preferredStyleSheetSet">preferredStyleSheetSet</a></code>
attribute.
<li>The style sheet's title matches (by <span>case-sensitive</span> match)
the value of the <code><a
href="#documentstyle-lastStyleSheetSet">lastStyleSheetSet</a></code>
attribute.
</ul>
<p>Otherwise, the style sheet <em class=ct>must</em> be disabled.
