You can get CSS values in JavaScript through two methods: The style property. getComputedStyle .
JavaScript can interact with stylesheets, allowing you to write programs that change a document's style dynamically. There are three ways to do this: By working with the document's list of stylesheets—for example: adding, removing or modifying a stylesheet.
First, hover over the element you want to copy. Then, right-click on it and choose the option “Inspect”. On the left side is the HTML DOM tree, and on the right side, the CSS styles of the selected element.
Adapted from here, building on scunliffe's answer:
function getStyle(className) {
var cssText = "";
var classes = document.styleSheets[0].rules || document.styleSheets[0].cssRules;
for (var x = 0; x < classes.length; x++) {
if (classes[x].selectorText == className) {
cssText += classes[x].cssText || classes[x].style.cssText;
}
}
return cssText;
}
alert(getStyle('.test'));
Since the accepted answer from "nsdel" is only avilable with one stylesheet in a document this is the adapted full working solution:
/**
* Gets styles by a classname
*
* @notice The className must be 1:1 the same as in the CSS
* @param string className_
*/
function getStyle(className_) {
var styleSheets = window.document.styleSheets;
var styleSheetsLength = styleSheets.length;
for(var i = 0; i < styleSheetsLength; i++){
var classes = styleSheets[i].rules || styleSheets[i].cssRules;
if (!classes)
continue;
var classesLength = classes.length;
for (var x = 0; x < classesLength; x++) {
if (classes[x].selectorText == className_) {
var ret;
if(classes[x].cssText){
ret = classes[x].cssText;
} else {
ret = classes[x].style.cssText;
}
if(ret.indexOf(classes[x].selectorText) == -1){
ret = classes[x].selectorText + "{" + ret + "}";
}
return ret;
}
}
}
}
Notice: The selector must be the same as in the CSS.
function GetProperty(classOrId,property)
{
var FirstChar = classOrId.charAt(0); var Remaining= classOrId.substring(1);
var elem = (FirstChar =='#') ? document.getElementById(Remaining) : document.getElementsByClassName(Remaining)[0];
return window.getComputedStyle(elem,null).getPropertyValue(property);
}
alert( GetProperty(".my_site_title","position") ) ;
function GetStyle(CLASSname)
{
var styleSheets = document.styleSheets;
var styleSheetsLength = styleSheets.length;
for(var i = 0; i < styleSheetsLength; i++){
if (styleSheets[i].rules ) { var classes = styleSheets[i].rules; }
else {
try { if(!styleSheets[i].cssRules) {continue;} }
//Note that SecurityError exception is specific to Firefox.
catch(e) { if(e.name == 'SecurityError') { console.log("SecurityError. Cant readd: "+ styleSheets[i].href); continue; }}
var classes = styleSheets[i].cssRules ;
}
for (var x = 0; x < classes.length; x++) {
if (classes[x].selectorText == CLASSname) {
var ret = (classes[x].cssText) ? classes[x].cssText : classes[x].style.cssText ;
if(ret.indexOf(classes[x].selectorText) == -1){ret = classes[x].selectorText + "{" + ret + "}";}
return ret;
}
}
}
}
alert( GetStyle('.my_site_title') );
I've found none of the suggestions to really work. Here's a more robust one that normalizes spacing when finding classes.
//Inside closure so that the inner functions don't need regeneration on every call.
const getCssClasses = (function () {
function normalize(str) {
if (!str) return '';
str = String(str).replace(/\s*([>~+])\s*/g, ' $1 '); //Normalize symbol spacing.
return str.replace(/(\s+)/g, ' ').trim(); //Normalize whitespace
}
function split(str, on) { //Split, Trim, and remove empty elements
return str.split(on).map(x => x.trim()).filter(x => x);
}
function containsAny(selText, ors) {
return selText ? ors.some(x => selText.indexOf(x) >= 0) : false;
}
return function (selector) {
const logicalORs = split(normalize(selector), ',');
const sheets = Array.from(window.document.styleSheets);
const ruleArrays = sheets.map((x) => Array.from(x.rules || x.cssRules || []));
const allRules = ruleArrays.reduce((all, x) => all.concat(x), []);
return allRules.filter((x) => containsAny(normalize(x.selectorText), logicalORs));
};
})();
Here's it in action from the Chrome console.
