Read external stylesheet values

[Billy Cousins]

Can anyone tell me how to programmaticall y read the values from a stylesheet
that is linked into my asp.net app? I can read styles that are declared in
the HTML code, but have not found a way to get to the external stylesheet.
For example, I want to read the font-size and font-family from a class in
the stylesheet.

You're best bet will be to load the entire css file into a string and parse
it for the class and then parse out the font-size and font-family.

On the client you can get at that data with document.styles . On the server
you'll have to parse the actual file.
