Hello Roger, nice to hear from you.I'm currently on the latest Safari 3.1.2 (525.21)I am at knowledge that:     javascript:alert(document.styleSheets[0].rules[0].selectorText);will work, -on address-bar especially, but I will not be able to code onclients address bar from here. :)The:    alert(document.styleSheets[0].rules[0].selectorText);will not work inside the script body.-Of course it will work, if, and only if there are no external style-sheets presently linked to the document, but that's pointless & useless equally.Cause I'm not willing to include them all back in the header of every page right now!-Well, would you?Ironically,     javascript:alert(document.styleSheets[0].rules[0].selectorText);will continue to work (on address bar) even if external SS are present.There is another [? "%#@$" ] that might fool the coder to conclude thathis script somehow is beginning to work.If command:   javascript:alert(document.styleSheets[0].rules[0].selectorText);is present in Safari address bar, each Refresh will trigger its executionproviding you with correct output in your alert box that will make you think that existing code in your document, exmp.:<script>      alert(document.styleSheets[0].rules[0].selectorText);</script>...is working.But, for this matter, the previous, will not work in FX2 or Opera either! It will throw:"document.styleSheets[0].rules has no properties",since it has to do with syntax "rules" vs. W3C "cssRules" error. So,correcting this, will make it work as expected in Fx & Op, but not in Sf!Try:<script type="text/javascript">  dS = document.styleSheets;  //I hate discrimination, therefore I equalize:  theRules = dS[0].rules || dS[0].cssRules;     alert(theRules[0].selectorText)</script>But as I already noted, if linked external style sheets are present, it will not work in Safari.My conclusion is that this must be an obvious Safari bug.Best Regards~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                      Troy III                         progressive art enterprise~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
