NAME

CSS::Selector - a Perl object oriented interface to the markup properties associated with a CSS Selector class.

SYNOPSIS

use CSS::Selector;
my $style = CSS::Selector->new(
          -source  => '/path/to/some.css',
          -adaptor => 'AceGraphics');

my @styles  = $css->styles;
my $tag     = @styles[0];
my %markups = %{$css->style($tag)};

DESCRIPTION

CSS::Selector is intended to be accessed via a CSS object. It is a class to represent CSS selectors (duh!).

METHODS

This section describes the class and object methods for a CSS::Selector object.

CONSTRUCTORS

There is only one constructor, the new() method.

$style = CSS::Selector->new(@options)

The new() method creates a new Selector object. The options are a set of property/value pairs as follows:

  Option      Value                                  Default
  ------      -----                                  -------

  -adaptor    adaptor to be used to translate the    default
              CSS properties.

  -source     path to stylesheet file to be parsed.  none

  -debug      when true, debugging messages are      false
	      sent to STDERR.

new() will thow an exception if the -name tag is undefined.

ACCESSORS

The following accessor methods provide access to various attributes of the CSS object. Called with no arguments, they each return the current value of the attribute. Called with a single argument, they set the attribute and return its previous value.

Accessor Name              Description
