Examples

The CSS below includes a media query with one style rule. The MDN live sample infrastructure combines all the CSS blocks in the example into a single inline style with the id css-output, so we first use getElementById() to find that sheet. myRules[0] returns a CSSMediaRule object, from which we can get the mediaText.

<p id="log"></p>

@media (width >= 500px) {
  body {
    color: blue;
  }
}

const log = document.getElementById("log");
const myRules = document.getElementById("css-output").sheet.cssRules;
const mediaList = myRules[0]; // a CSSMediaRule representing the media query.
log.textContent += ` ${mediaList.media.mediaText}`;
