CSSImageValue

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

The CSSImageValue interface of the CSS Typed Object Model API represents values for properties that take an image, for example background-image, list-style-image, or border-image-source.

The CSSImageValue object represents an <image> that involves a URL, such as url() or image(), but not linear-gradient() or element().

Instance properties

None.

Instance methods

Inherits methods from CSSStyleValue.

Examples

We create an element

html

<button>Magic Wand</button>

We add some CSS, including a background image requesting a binary file:

css

button { display: inline-block; min-height: 100px; min-width: 100px; background: no-repeat 5% center url("magic-wand.png") aqua; }

We get the element's style map. We then get() the background-image from the style map and stringify it:

// get the element const button = document.querySelector("button"); // Retrieve all computed styles with computedStyleMap() const allComputedStyles = button.computedStyleMap(); // Return the CSSImageValue Example console.log(allComputedStyles.get("background-image")); console.log(allComputedStyles.get("background-image").toString());
