* The <code>CSSStyleDeclaration</code> interface represents a single CSS
19
* declaration block. This interface may be used to determine the style
20
* properties currently set in a block or to set style properties explicitly
22
* <p> While an implementation may not recognize all CSS properties within a
23
* CSS declaration block, it is expected to provide access to all specified
24
* properties in the style sheet through the <code>CSSStyleDeclaration</code>
25
* interface. Furthermore, implementations that support a specific level of
26
* CSS should correctly handle CSS shorthand properties for that level. For
27
* a further discussion of shorthand properties, see the
28
* <code>CSS2Properties</code> interface.
29
* <p> This interface is also used to provide a read-only access to the
30
* computed values of an element. See also the <code>ViewCSS</code>
31
* interface. The CSS Object Model doesn't provide an access to the
32
* specified or actual values of the CSS cascade.
