CSSValue
Deprecated
Avoid using this feature in new projects. The DOM level 2 CSS object model was excluded from the later CSS object model (CSSOM) specification. This feature may be a candidate for removal from web standards or browsers.
Consider using the following features instead: CSS object model.
Non-standard: This feature is not standardized. We do not recommend using non-standard features in production, as they have limited browser support, and may change or be removed. However, they can be a suitable alternative in specific cases where no standard option exists.
The CSSValue interface represents the current computed value of a CSS property.
Note: This interface was part of an attempt to create a typed CSS Object Model. This attempt has been abandoned, and most browsers do not implement it.
To achieve your purpose, you can use:
- the untyped CSS Object Model, widely supported, or
- the modern CSS Typed Object Model API, less supported and considered experimental.

It has been superseded by a modern, but incompatible, CSS Typed Object Model API that is now on the standard track.
