Shared Attributes

cssText
The textual representation of the rule or sheet (cssutils defined this property for CSSStyleSheet objects too).
atkeyword
All @rules have this attribute which holds the literal atkeyword, e.g. @im\port.

CSSStyleSheet

The CSSStyleSheet contains all rules. It consists of the different rules defined above like CSSImportRule CSSStyleRule etc. It also defines the encoding of the style sheet used for serialization. The encoding might by set with an CSSCharsetRule rules or simpler with the encoding attribute. The serialized sheet may be obtained from cssText. All rules are present in cssRules. Namespace prefixes are available in prefixes, the actual namespace URIs in the CSSNamespaceRule objects (do not rely on prefixes though, see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/ how these work.

Attributes

Also inherits properties from stylesheet.StyleSheet.

cssRules
of type CSSRuleList, (DOM readonly)
ownerRule
of type CSSRule, readonly (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET)
encoding (cssutils and CSSOM only)

reflects the encoding of an @charset rule or 'utf-8' (default) if set to None.

Effectively using CSSCharsetRule directly is not needed anymore.

prefixes: set (cssutils only)
A set of declared prefixes via @namespace rules. Each CSSStyleRule is checked if it uses additional prefixes which are not declared. If they do they are "invalidated".

CSSCharsetRule

This rule is not really needed anymore as using encoding of CSSStyleSheet is much easier.

CSSNamespaceRule

CSSNamespaceRule currently implements http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-css3-namespace-20060828/

namespaceURI
The namespace URI (a simple string!) which is bound to the given prefix. If no prefix is set (CSSNamespaceRule.prefix=='') the namespace defined by namespaceURI is set as the default namespace.
prefix
The prefix used in the stylesheet for the given CSSNamespaceRule.nsuri. If prefix is empty uri sets the default namespace for the stylesheet.

CSSImportRule

Used to import other CSS style sheets.

href
The URI where the referenced sheet may be found. May be a string or url() value.
media
The media information where the referenced style sheet should be used. See MediaList for more details.
stylesheet
The referenced CSSStyleSheet. Currently always None as it is not implemented.
