## Interface StyleSheet

- All Known Subinterfaces:
    CSSStyleSheet

      public interface StyleSheet

  The `StyleSheet` interface is the abstract base interface for any type of style sheet. It represents a single style sheet associated with a structured document. In HTML, the StyleSheet interface represents either an external style sheet, included via the HTML LINK element, or an inline STYLE element. In XML, this interface represents an external style sheet, included via a style sheet processing instruction.

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

  Since:
    DOM Level 2

    All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `boolean` | `getDisabled()` `false` if the style sheet is applied to the document.
    `String` | `getHref()` If the style sheet is a linked style sheet, the value of its attribute is its location.
    `MediaList` | `getMedia()` The intended destination media for style information.
    `Node` | `getOwnerNode()` The node that associates this style sheet with the document.
    `StyleSheet` | `getParentStyleSheet()` For style sheet languages that support the concept of style sheet inclusion, this attribute represents the including style sheet, if one exists.
    `String` | `getTitle()` The advisory title.
    `String` | `getType()` This specifies the style sheet language for this style sheet.
    `void` | `setDisabled(boolean disabled)` `false` if the style sheet is applied to the document.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getType

          String getType()

      This specifies the style sheet language for this style sheet. The style sheet language is specified as a content type (e.g. "text/css"). The content type is often specified in the `ownerNode`. Also see the type attribute definition for the `LINK` element in HTML 4.0, and the type pseudo-attribute for the XML style sheet processing instruction.

    - #### getDisabled

          boolean getDisabled()

      `false` if the style sheet is applied to the document. `true` if it is not. Modifying this attribute may cause a new resolution of style for the document. A stylesheet only applies if both an appropriate medium definition is present and the disabled attribute is false. So, if the media doesn't apply to the current user agent, the `disabled` attribute is ignored.

    - #### setDisabled

          void setDisabled(boolean disabled)

      `false` if the style sheet is applied to the document. `true` if it is not. Modifying this attribute may cause a new resolution of style for the document. A stylesheet only applies if both an appropriate medium definition is present and the disabled attribute is false. So, if the media doesn't apply to the current user agent, the `disabled` attribute is ignored.

    - #### getOwnerNode

          Node getOwnerNode()

      The node that associates this style sheet with the document. For HTML, this may be the corresponding `LINK` or `STYLE` element. For XML, it may be the linking processing instruction. For style sheets that are included by other style sheets, the value of this attribute is `null`.

    - #### getParentStyleSheet

          StyleSheet getParentStyleSheet()

      For style sheet languages that support the concept of style sheet inclusion, this attribute represents the including style sheet, if one exists. If the style sheet is a top-level style sheet, or the style sheet language does not support inclusion, the value of this attribute is `null`.

    - #### getHref

          String getHref()

      If the style sheet is a linked style sheet, the value of its attribute is its location. For inline style sheets, the value of this attribute is `null`. See the href attribute definition for the `LINK` element in HTML 4.0, and the href pseudo-attribute for the XML style sheet processing instruction.

    - #### getTitle

          String getTitle()

      The advisory title. The title is often specified in the `ownerNode`. See the title attribute definition for the `LINK` element in HTML 4.0, and the title pseudo-attribute for the XML style sheet processing instruction.

    - #### getMedia

          MediaList getMedia()

      The intended destination media for style information. The media is often specified in the `ownerNode`. If no media has been specified, the `MediaList` will be empty. See the media attribute definition for the `LINK` element in HTML 4.0, and the media pseudo-attribute for the XML style sheet processing instruction . Modifying the media list may cause a change to the attribute `disabled`.
