Interface CSSRule

All Known Subinterfaces:
  CSSCharsetRule, CSSFontFaceRule, CSSImportRule, CSSMediaRule, CSSPageRule, CSSStyleRule, CSSUnknownRule

public interface CSSRule

The `CSSRule` interface is the abstract base interface for any type of CSS statement. This includes both rule sets and at-rules. An implementation is expected to preserve all rules specified in a CSS style sheet, even if the rule is not recognized by the parser. Unrecognized rules are represented using the `CSSUnknownRule` interface.

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Style Specification.

Since:
  DOM Level 2

### getCssText

    public java.lang.String getCssText()

  The parsable textual representation of the rule. This reflects the current state of the rule and not its initial value.

                    throws DOMException

  The parsable textual representation of the rule. This reflects the current state of the rule and not its initial value.
  Throws:
    DOMException - SYNTAX_ERR: Raised if the specified CSS string value has a syntax error and is unparsable.
    INVALID_MODIFICATION_ERR: Raised if the specified CSS string value represents a different type of rule than the current one.
    HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if the rule cannot be inserted at this point in the style sheet.
    NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if the rule is readonly.

### getParentStyleSheet

    public CSSStyleSheet getParentStyleSheet()

  The style sheet that contains this rule.

### getParentRule

    public CSSRule getParentRule()

  If this rule is contained inside another rule (e.g. a style rule inside an @media block), this is the containing rule. If this rule is not nested inside any other rules, this returns `null`.
