{{APIRef("CSSOM")}}{{non-standard_header}}
The **`CSSValue`** interface represents the current computed value of a CSS property.
> [!NOTE]
> This interface 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](/en-US/docs/Web/API/CSS_Object_Model), widely supported, or
> - the modern [CSS Typed Object Model API](/en-US/docs/Web/API/CSS_Typed_OM_API), less supported and considered experimental.
## Instance properties
- {{DOMxRef("CSSValue.cssText")}} {{Deprecated_Inline}} {{non-standard_inline}}
- : A string representing the current value.
- {{DOMxRef("CSSValue.cssValueType")}} {{ReadOnlyInline}} {{Deprecated_Inline}} {{non-standard_inline}}
- : An `unsigned short` representing a code defining the type of the value. Possible values are:
| Constant | Description |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `CSS_CUSTOM` | The value is a custom value. |
| `CSS_INHERIT` | The value is inherited and the `cssText` contains `"inherit"`. |
| `CSS_PRIMITIVE_VALUE` | The value is a primitive value and an instance of the {{DOMxRef("CSSPrimitiveValue")}} interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on this instance of the `CSSValue` interface. |
| `CSS_VALUE_LIST` | The value is a `CSSValue` list and an instance of the {{DOMxRef("CSSValueList")}} interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on this instance of the `CSSValue` interface. |
## Specifications
This feature was originally defined in the [DOM Style Level 2](https://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Style/) specification, but has been dropped from any
standardization effort since then.
It has been superseded by a modern, but incompatible, [CSS Typed Object Model API](/en-US/docs/Web/API/CSS_Typed_OM_API) that is now on the standard track.
