Description

The style property returns the values of an element's style attribute.

The style property returns a CSSStyleDeclaration object.

The CSSStyleDeclaration object contains all inline styles properties for the element. It does not contain any style properties set in the <head> section or in any external style sheets.

Note 1

You cannot set a style like this:

element.style = "color:red";

You must use a CSS property like this:

element.style.backgroundColor = "red"; Try it Yourself »

Note 2

JavaScript syntax is slightly different from CSS syntax: backgroundColor / background-color.

See our Full Style Object Reference.

Note 3

Use this style property instead of the The setAttribute() Method, to prevent overwriting other properties in the style attribute.
