A string representing the rendered text content of an element.
If the element itself is not being rendered (for example, is detached from the document or is hidden from view), the returned value is the same as the Node.textContent
property.
Warning: Setting innerText
on a node removes all of the node's children and replaces them with a single text node with the given string value.
This example compares innerText
with Node.textContent
. Note how innerText
is aware of things like <br>
elements, and ignores hidden elements.
<h3>Source element:</h3>
<p id="source">
<style>
#source {
color: red;
}
#text {
text-transform: uppercase;
}
</style>
<span id="text">
Take a look at<br />
how this text<br />
is interpreted below.
</span>
<span style="display:none">HIDDEN TEXT</span>
</p>
<h3>Result of textContent:</h3>
<textarea id="textContentOutput" rows="6" cols="30" readonly>â¦</textarea>
<h3>Result of innerText:</h3>
<textarea id="innerTextOutput" rows="6" cols="30" readonly>â¦</textarea>
JavaScript
const source = document.getElementById("source");
const textContentOutput = document.getElementById("textContentOutput");
const innerTextOutput = document.getElementById("innerTextOutput");
textContentOutput.value = source.textContent;
innerTextOutput.value = source.innerText;
