The specification states: "The CSSValue interface represents a simple or a complex value. A CSSValue object only occurs in a context of a CSS property." If the CSSValue had no knowledge of its property then there would be a problem with both the retreival of cssText and the parsing of the text during a set. Hope this helps. --- BlaineReceived on Monday, 21 August 2000 12:35:42 GMT
