[Javascript] dynamically reading/changing values in a css class from javascript

[Troy III Ajnej]

Sorry I didn't Nick; 
But I did make the sugestion of what domain manipulation I'm talking
about with a simple example like: this.style.width="something" and I 
think its enough to understand  that we are talkin of js manipulation 
on dom elements which will not affect the stylesheet in any way.
 
The example method is also more secure and more certain that the 
change you've made will get drawn for sure! Since it deploys these 
changes inline making sure it makes it over all existing preceeding
declarations. I belive it is practicall. And yes, it is impossible to affect 
the style body itself with that method. 
[document.getElementById('anyElment').style.color=...etc]
 
Since we are not arguing, I believe that discusing the manipulation 
the style declarations could be benefituary for people in discusion. 
I myself, think that manipulating the style body itself is a bit unpractical,
still not very widely supported and in most casses unnecessary. 
 
The only casse, when I think it will come handy, is the casse when you
are forced to change some class style declarations that will affect all 
the elements belonging to that class selector. This is however very rare 
situation. And beyond that, you'll have to make sure somehow that 
the browser will really reflect these changes as and when expected. 
(As I'm not very familiar with how will some certain browser 
handle these changes in the body of the style element).
 
So in my point of view:
Even in the casse we are discussing, it is better to wallk the DOM and 
apply a different class to these elements allready declared in a style
than to mess with the stylesheet itself.
