Document: enableStyleSheetsForSet() 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.

Non-standard: This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

Enables the style sheets matching the specified name in the current style sheet set, and disables all other style sheets (except those without a title, which are always enabled).

Syntax

js
enableStyleSheetsForSet(name)

Parameters

name

The name of the style sheets to enable. All style sheets with a title that match this name will be enabled, while all others that have a title will be disabled. Specify an empty string for the name parameter to disable all alternate and preferred style sheets (but not the persistent style sheets; that is, those with no title attribute).

Return value

None (undefined).

Notes

  • Title matches are case-sensitive.
  • Calling this method with a null name has no effect; if you want to disable all alternate and preferred style sheets, you must pass "", the empty string.
  • Stylesheets that don't have a title are never affected by this method.
  • This method never affects the values of document.lastStyleSheetSet or document.preferredStyleSheetSet.

Examples

js
document.enableStyleSheetsForSet("Some style sheet set name");
