String.prototype.strike() - JavaScript | MDN
Syntax
Parameters
None.
Return value
A string beginning with a <strike> start tag, then the text str, and then a </strike> end tag.
Examples
Using strike()
The code below creates an HTML string and then replaces the document's body with it:
js
const contentString = "Hello, world";
document.body.innerHTML = contentString.strike();
This will create the following HTML:
html
<strike>Hello, world</strike>
Warning:
This markup is invalid, because strike is no longer a valid element.
Instead of using strike() and creating HTML text directly, you should use DOM APIs such as document.createElement(). For example:
js
const contentString = "Hello, world";
const elem = document.createElement("s");
elem.innerText = contentString;
document.body.appendChild(elem);
