CSSPrimitiveValue: setStringValue() method
Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see thecompatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.
ThesetStringValue() method of theCSSPrimitiveValue interface is used to set a string value. If theproperty attached to this value can't accept the specified unit or the string value, thevalue will be unchanged and aDOMException will be raised.
Note:This method was part of an attempt to create a typed CSS Object Model. This attempt has been abandoned, and most browsers donot implement it.
To achieve your purpose, you can use:
- the untypedCSS Object Model, widely supported, or
- the modernCSS Typed Object Model API, less supported and considered experimental.
