  • JavaScript Style Sheets (JSSS) was a stylesheet language technology proposed by Netscape Communications Corporation in 1996 to provide facilities for defining the presentation of webpages. It was an alternative to the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) technology. Although Netscape submitted it to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the technology was never accepted as a formal standard and it never gained much acceptance in the market. Only Netscape Communicator 4 supported JSSS, with the rival Internet Explorer web browser choosing not to implement the technology. Soon after Netscape Communicator's release in 1997, Netscape stopped promoting JSSS, instead focusing on the rival CSS standard, which was also supported by Internet Explorer and had much wider industry acceptance. The follow-up to Netscape Communicator, Netscape 6 (released in 2000), dropped support for JSSS. It now remains little more than a historical footnote, with many Web developers not even being aware of its existence. Using JavaScript code as a stylesheet, JSSS styles individual element by modifying properties of the document. tags object. For example, the CSS: h1 font-size: 20pt; is equivalent to the JSSS: document. tags.H1. fontSize = "20pt"; Note the case significance in element names. JSSS is in some ways more powerful and in some ways less powerful than CSS. It lacks the various CSS selector features, supporting only a simple tag name selector. On the other hand, since it is written using a complete programming language, stylesheets can include highly complex dynamic calculations and conditional processing. (In practice, however, this can be achieved with CSS by using JavaScript to modify the stylesheets applicable to the document at runtime. ) Because of this JSSS was often used in the creation of DHTML. Being written in JavaScript, JSSS may seem less friendly than CSS to users without a programming background.
  • JavaScript Style Sheets (JSSS) ist eine in JavaScript integrierte Stylesheet-Sprache für HTML-Dokumente. JSSS wurde vom Browser-Anbieter Netscape entwickelt und 1996 dem World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in einer Working Draft vorgelegt. Es handelte sich um eine Parallel-Entwicklung zu den Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Netscape setzte auf JavaScript-basierte Deklarationen von Formatdefinitionen, um diese von vorneherein in sein DHTML-Modell zu integrieren. Das Konzept von JSSS kollidierte jedoch mit dem von CSS, welches vom W3C favorisiert wurde und sich schließlich auch durchsetzte. Der Netscape-Browser interpretierte JSSS-Syntax bis zur Produktversion 4.x. In späteren Versionen (beginnend mit Version 6.0), die auf der Gecko (Rendering Engine)-Engine basierten, wurde die Unterstützung für JSSS aufgegeben. Andere Browser als der von Netscape haben JSSS nie interpretiert. Interessant ist auch, dass Netscape 4. x intern alle CSS-Deklarationen in JSSS-Deklarationen konvertierte. Er enthielt also gar keinen echten CSS-Parser, sondern stattdessen einen Konverter für CSS-Syntax zu JSSS-Syntax.
