ICSSCharsetRule class

ICSSCharsetRule class

The CSSCharsetRule interface represents a @charset rule in a CSS style sheet. The value of the encoding attribute does not affect the encoding of text data in the DOM objects; this encoding is always UTF-16. After a stylesheet is loaded, the value of the encoding attribute is the value found in the @charset rule. If there was no @charset in the original document, then no CSSCharsetRule is created. The value of the encoding attribute may also be used as a hint for the encoding used on serialization of the style sheet.

The ICSSCharsetRule type exposes the following members:

Properties

PropertyDescription
encodingThe encoding information used in this @charset rule.
typeThe type of the rule, as defined above. The expectation is that binding-specific casting methods can be used to cast down from an instance of the CSSRule interface to the specific derived interface implied by the type.
css_textThe parsable textual representation of the rule. This reflects the current state of the rule and not its initial value.
parent_style_sheetThe style sheet that contains this rule.
parent_ruleIf 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.
