CSSValueList: item() method
Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.
The item() method of the CSSValueList
interface is used to retrieve a CSSValue by ordinal index.
The order in this collection represents the order of the values in the CSS style
property. If the index is greater than or equal to the number of values in the list,
this method returns null.
Note: This method was part of an attempt to create a typed CSS Object Model. This attempt has been abandoned, and most browsers do not implement it.
To achieve your purpose, you can use:
- the untyped CSS Object Model, widely supported, or
- the modern CSS Typed Object Model API, less supported and considered experimental.

Parameters
