CSSRule.cssText

Not to be confused with element-style CSSStyleDeclaration.cssText.

cssText returns the actual text of a CSSStyleSheet style-rule.

Note: Can no longer be set directly, as now specified to be functionally modify-only -- and *silently* so -- meaning that attempting to set it does absolutely *nothing* -- not even warn or error. Further, it has no settable sub-properties. Therefore, to modify, use the stylesheet's cssRules[index] properties .selectorText and .style (or its sub-properties). See Using dynamic styling information for details.

Syntax
