Short version12 April 2017
Challenger appears.
var getMatchedCSSRules = (el, css = el.ownerDocument.styleSheets) =>
[].concat(...[...css].map(s => [...s.cssRules||[]])) /* 1 */
.filter(r => el.matches(r.selectorText)); /* 2 */
Line /* 1 */ builds a flat array of all rules.
Line /* 2 */ discards non-matching rules.
Based on function css(el) by @S.B. on the same page.
Example 1
var div = iframedoc.querySelector("#myelement");
var rules = getMatchedCSSRules(div, iframedoc.styleSheets);
console.log(rules[0].parentStyleSheet.ownerNode, rules[0].cssText);
Example 2
var getMatchedCSSRules = (el, css = el.ownerDocument.styleSheets) =>
[].concat(...[...css].map(s => [...s.cssRules||[]]))
.filter(r => el.matches(r.selectorText));
function Go(big,show) {
var r = getMatchedCSSRules(big);
PrintInfo:
var f = (dd,rr,ee="\n") => dd + rr.cssText.slice(0,50) + ee;
show.value += "--------------- Rules: ----------------\n";
show.value += f("Rule 1: ", r[0]);
show.value += f("Rule 2: ", r[1]);
show.value += f("Inline: ", big.style);
show.value += f("Computed: ", getComputedStyle(big), "(…)\n");
show.value += "-------- Style element (HTML): --------\n";
show.value += r[0].parentStyleSheet.ownerNode.outerHTML;
}
Go(...document.querySelectorAll("#big,#show"));
.red {color: red;}
#big {font-size: 20px;}
<h3 id="big" class="red" style="margin: 0">Lorem ipsum</h3>
<textarea id="show" cols="70" rows="10"></textarea>
Shortcomings
- No media handling, no
@import, @media.
- No access to styles loaded from cross-domain stylesheets.
- No sorting by selector “specificity” (order of importance).
- No styles inherited from parents.
- May not work with old or rudimentary browsers.
- Not sure how it copes with pseudo-classes and pseudo-selectors but seems to fare okay.
Maybe I will address these shortcomings one day.
Long version12 August 2018
Here’s a much more comprehensive implementation taken from someone’s GitHub page
(forked from this original code, via Bugzilla). Written for Gecko and IE, but is rumoured to work also with Blink.
4 May 2017: The specificity calculator has had critical bugs which I have now fixed. (I can’t notify the authors because I don’t have a GitHub account.)
12 August 2018: Recent Chrome updates seem to have decoupled object scope (this) from methods assigned to independent variables. Therefore invocation matcher(selector) has stopped working. Replacing it by matcher.call(el, selector) has solved it.
