Introduction</h2>

<p>The DOM Level 2 Style Sheet interfaces are base interfaces used
to represent any type of style sheet. The expectation is that DOM
modules that represent a specific style sheet language may contain
interfaces that derive from these interfaces.</p>

<p>The interfaces found within this section are not mandatory. A
DOM application may use the <code>hasFeature(feature,
version)</code> method of the <code>DOMImplementation</code>
interface with parameter values "StyleSheets" and "2.0"
(respectively) to determine whether or not this module is supported
by the implementation. In order to fully support this module, an
implementation must also support the "Core" feature defined defined
in the DOM 2 Core specification [<a class='noxref'
href='references.html#DOMCore'>DOM Level 2 Core</a>]. Please refer
to additional information about <a
href='http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/introduction.html#ID-Conformance'>
<em>conformance</em></a> in the DOM Level 2 Core specification [<a
class='noxref' href='references.html#DOMCore'>DOM Level 2
Core</a>].</p>

<p>The <code>StyleSheet</code> interface is the abstract base
interface for any type of style sheet. It represents a single style
sheet associated with a structured document. In HTML, the
StyleSheet interface represents either an external style sheet,
included via the HTML <a
href='http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/struct/links.html#h-12.3'>
<em>LINK</em></a> element, or an inline <a
href='http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/present/styles.html#h-14.2.3'>
<em>STYLE</em></a> element. In XML, this interface represents an
external style sheet, included via a <a
href='http://www.w3.org/1999/06/REC-xml-stylesheet-19990629'><em>style
sheet processing instruction</em></a>.</p>
