The strike() method of String values creates a string that embeds this string in a
element (<strike>str</strike>), which causes this string to be displayed as struck-out text.
Note: All HTML wrapper methods are deprecated and only standardized for compatibility purposes. For the case of
strike(), the<strike>element itself has been removed from the HTML specification and shouldn't be used anymore. Web developers should use the for deleted content or the for content that is no longer accurate or no longer relevant instead.
Syntax
strike()
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:
const contentString = "Hello, world";
document.body.innerHTML = contentString.strike();
This will create the following HTML:
<strike>Hello, world</strike>
Warning: This markup is invalid, because
strikeis 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:
const contentString = "Hello, world";
const elem = document.createElement("s");
elem.innerText = contentString;
document.body.appendChild(elem);
