A comma-separated list of media types to which the style sheet should apply.

Description

This method creates a new CSSStyleSheet object. Note, however, that as of Level 2, the DOM standard does not yet define any way to associate a newly created CSSStyleSheet object with a document.

createCSSStyleSheet( ) is defined not by the DOMImplementation interface but by its DOMImplementationCSS subinterface. If an implementation supports the “CSS” feature, its DOMImplementation object implements this method.
