HTML / CSS / JavaScript Tutorial

HTML Element: <s>

[this page | pdf | back links]

The HTML <s> element indicates text that is no longer correct. Conventionally, the <s> element should not be used for replaced or deleted text (instead use a <del> element).

 

The attributes it can take are HTML global attributes and HTML event attributes.

 

To create or access such an element in JavaScript see here. The corresponding HTML DOM object supports standard DOM properties and methods. The default style applicable to this element is shown here.
