<div>
  {{DOMRef}}</div>
<p>The <strong><code>HTMLStyleElement</code></strong> interface represents a {{HTMLElement("style")}} element. It inherits properties and methods from its parent, {{domxref("HTMLElement")}}, and from {{domxref("LinkStyle")}}.</p>
<p>This interface doesn't allow to manipulate the CSS it contains (in most case). To manipulate CSS, see <a href="/en-US/docs/DOM/Using_dynamic_styling_information" title="DOM/Using_dynamic_styling_information">Using dynamic styling information</a> for an overview of the objects used to manipulate specified CSS properties using the DOM.</p>
