Question

I am trying to get a certain stylesheet from the head using javascript/jQuery.
I do not want to use $('head').get(0).innerHTML or similar cause the head is filled up with more than 30 script and link elements.

I tried this so far

// that's the one
var $my_stylesheet = $(document.body.previousSibling).find('link:last');

//those did not work (result: "")
$my_stylesheet.get(0).innerHTML;
$my_stylesheet.text();
$my_stylesheet.html();

What can i do to get the stylesheet content from the head?

Answer 1

Try to request via ajax call:

var $my_stylesheet_url = $('head').find('link:first').attr('href');

var content;
$.get($my_stylesheet_url, function(data) {
    content = data;
    // do your staff here
});
