How can I efficiently retrieve all CSS rules associated with a specific element using JavaScript? I am not seeking a particular solution, just looking to capture all CSS rules for the given element.
For example, consider the following HTML code:
<div class='styledDiv' style='height:100px;width:100px;'></div>
And then in a separate CSS file:
.styledDiv
{
background-color: #ccc;
border: solid 5px blue;
}
I want to extract and display both inline and external CSS rules applied to this element. The final output could be in any format, such as a string or an array.
I have explored some existing solutions that fetch CSS rules from external files, but I believe there might be a more efficient approach. It's worth noting that FireFox and Chrome enable iterating through the .style property similar to looping through an array. However, Firefox sometimes returns -*tl-source rules for certain properties instead of actual CSS values. I am open to solutions involving jQuery as well.
