Retrieves a collection of styleSheet objects representing the style sheets that correspond to each instance of a link or style object in the document.

Syntax

[ oColl = ] object .styleSheets

[ oObject = ] object .styleSheets( vIndex [, iSubIndex ] )

Possible Values

oColl	Array of styleSheet objects.
oObject	Reference to an individual item in the array of elements contained by the object.
vIndex	Required. Integer or string that specifies the element or collection to retrieve. If this parameter is an integer, the method returns the element in the collection at the given position, where the first element has value 0, the second has 1, and so on. If this parameter is a string and there is more than one element with the name or id property equal to the string, the method returns a collection of matching elements.
iSubIndex	Optional. Position of an element to retrieve. This parameter is used when vIndex is a string. The method uses the string to construct a collection of all elements that have a name or id property equal to the string, and then retrieves from this collection the element at the position specified by iSubIndex.
