HTMLScriptElement: innerText property - Web APIs | MDN

Value

Getting the property returns a string containing the scripts's text.

Setting the property accepts either a TrustedScript object or a string.

Exceptions

TypeError

Thrown if the property is set to a string when Trusted Types are enforced by a CSP and no default policy is defined.

Description

The innerText property of the HTMLScriptElement interface represents the text content inside the <script> element.

For an executable script (that is, a script whose type indicates that it is a module or classic script), this text is inline executable code. For other types it might represent an import map, speculation rules, or some other kind of data block.

Note that if the src property is set the content of the innerText property is ignored.

The innerText property is also defined on HTMLElement and can hence be used with other elements. When used with other elements, the property does not expect or enforce the assignment of a TrustedScript.

Security considerations

See security considerations in HTMLScriptElement.textContent (the considerations are the same for text, textContent and innerText properties).

Examples

See the examples in HTMLScriptElement.textContent.
