Get CSS properties values for a not yet applied class

Question

In jQuery, I can get a CSS property value for a selector using the css method and passing a property name, for example:

$(\'#myElement\').css(\'backgr

Answer 1

Short answer: You cannot get a css property from a class that is not applied to any element. However, you can directly read it from a CSS stylesheet and you can do this by using DOM CSS

And then maybe have something like:

var bgimage = myStyleSheet.cssRules[0].style.background-image;
