CSSValueList: item() method

Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.

The item() method of the CSSValueList interface is used to retrieve a CSSValue by ordinal index.

The order in this collection represents the order of the values in the CSS style property. If the index is greater than or equal to the number of values in the list, this method returns null.

Note: This method was part of an attempt to create a typed CSS Object Model. This attempt has been abandoned, and most browsers do not implement it.

To achieve your purpose, you can use:

Syntax

js
item(index)

Parameters

index

An unsigned long representing the index of the CSS value within the collection.

Return value

A CSSValue object at the index position in the CSSValueList, or null if that is not a valid index.

Specifications

This feature was originally defined in the DOM Style Level 2 specification, but has been dropped from any standardization effort since then.

It has been superseded by a modern, but incompatible, CSS Typed Object Model API that is now on the standard track.
