runtimeStyle Object

Represents the cascaded format and style of the object that overrides the format and style specified in global style sheets, inline styles, and HTML attributes.

Remarks

The runtimeStyle object sets and retrieves the format and style of an object, and overrides existing formats and styles in the process. Other than having precedence over the style object and not persisting, the runtimeStyle object is equivalent to the style object.

Example

This example sets a value on the runtimeStyle object to affect the currentStyle object, but not the style object.

<SCRIPT>
function fnChangeValue(sValue){
   if(oDIV.runtimeStyle.backgroundColor == oDIV.style.backgroundColor){
      sValue="";
   }
   oDIV.runtimeStyle.backgroundColor = sValue;
   alert(oDIV.style.backgroundColor +
      "\n" + oDIV.currentStyle.backgroundColor +
      "\n" + oDIV.runtimeStyle.backgroundColor);
}
</SCRIPT>

<DIV ID = "oDIV">
This is a demonstration DIV.
</DIV>

<INPUT TYPE = "button" VALUE = "Change Color" onclick="fnChangeValue('blue')">
