styleo() Function

Styleo allows you to quickly change the properties in the global stylesheet. When you define a global stylesheet, it follows the form of: 

<style type="text/css">
.selectorText    {CSS-Property: Value}
.myClass          {color: red}
</style>

Once you defined your stylesheet, there are two ways you can use the styleo() function. The first is to change the value of a CSS-Property, and the other is to retrieve the Value of a CSS-Property.  To change the value of a CSS-Property, you call: 

styleo(".selectorText","CSS-Property", "New Value");

To retrieve the value of a CSS-Property, you call the same function but omit the new value. For example: 

abc = styleo(".selectorText", "CSS-Property)

Whenever the global stylesheet is modified through script, the document needs to be rerendered. This causes the scrollbars to be repositioned at the top of the document.

                for (j=0; j < thisSheet.rules.length; j++) {
