CSSCounterStyleRule: system property

Baseline 2023
Newly available

Since ⁨September 2023⁩, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.

>

The system property of the CSSCounterStyleRule interface gets and sets the value of the system descriptor. If the descriptor does not have a value set, this attribute returns an empty string.

Value

A string.

Examples

The following example shows a @counter-style rule. In JavaScript, myRules[0] is this @counter-style rule, returning system gives us the value "fixed".

css
@counter-style box-corner {
  system: fixed;
  symbols: ◰ ◳ ◲ ◱;
  suffix: ": ";
}
js
let myRules = document.styleSheets[0].cssRules;
console.log(myRules[0].system); // "fixed"
