Summary

The HTML Strikethrough Element (<s>) renders text with a strikethrough, or a line through it. Use the <s> element to represent things that are no longer relevant or no longer accurate. However, <s> is not appropriate when indicating document edits; for that, use the {{ HTMLElement("del") }} and {{ HTMLElement("ins") }} elements, as appropriate.

Attributes

This element only includes the global attributes.

DOM interface

This element implements the HTMLElement interface.

Implementation note: Up to Gecko 1.9.2 inclusive, Firefox implements the HTMLSpanElement interface for this element.

Example

<s>Today's Special: Salmon</s> SOLD OUT<br />
<span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Today's Special: Salmon</span> SOLD OUT

Result

Today's Special: Salmon SOLD OUT
Today's Special: Salmon SOLD OUT
