MooCss

With MooCss you can write Css as Javascript objects (just like Element.Style) to a style tag in the document head

How to use

First you have to include the javascript files and css file in the head of your html document

#HTML
<script src="../Source/MooCss.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

There are two classes, MooCss and MooCssStyle. First you create a style for a selector, for example '.foo' and apply the styles. Secondly you add this MooCssStyle instance to the MooCss instance and call the MooCss.write method to actually write the CSS to your document head.

Example

#JS
var style = new MooCss()
	.setStyle(new MooCssStyle('.foo',{
		background: '#FF9900',
		color: 'white',
		padding: 20
	}))
	.setStyle(new MooCssStyle('pre',{
		border: '1px solid black'
	}))
	.setStyle({
		'background': '#EEE'
	},'body')
	.write();
	
document.addEvent('click',function(){
	style.setStyle(style.getStyle('body').set('font-weight','bold')).write();
});
