CSSStyleDeclaration: item() method

The CSSStyleDeclaration.item() method interface returns a CSS property name from a CSSStyleDeclaration by index.

This method doesn't throw exceptions as long as you provide arguments; the empty string is returned if the index is out of range and a TypeError is thrown if no argument is provided.

Syntax

item(index)

Parameters

index

The index of the node to be fetched. The index is zero-based.

Return value

A string that is the name of the CSS property at the specified index.

JavaScript has a special simpler syntax for obtaining an item from a NodeList by index:

const propertyName = style[index];

Exceptions

TypeError

Thrown if no argument is provided.

Examples

const style = document.getElementById("div1").style;
const propertyName = style.item(1); // or style[1] - returns the second style listed
