The fixed() method of String values creates a string that embeds this string in a
element (<tt>str</tt>), which causes this string to be displayed in a fixed-width font.
Note: All HTML wrapper methods are deprecated and only standardized for compatibility purposes. For the case of
fixed(), the<tt>element itself has been removed from the HTML specification and shouldn't be used anymore. Web developers should use CSS properties instead.
Syntax
fixed()
Parameters
None.
Return value
A string beginning with a <tt> start tag, then the text str, and then a </tt> end tag.
Examples
Using fixed()
The code below creates an HTML string and then replaces the document's body with it:
const contentString = "Hello, world";
document.body.innerHTML = contentString.fixed();
This will create the following HTML:
<tt>Hello, world</tt>
Warning: This markup is invalid, because
ttis no longer a valid element.
Instead of using fixed() and creating HTML text directly, you should use CSS to manipulate fonts. For example, you can manipulate
through the
attribute:
document.getElementById("yourElemId").style.fontFamily = "monospace";
