del Summary

The del element indicates text that has been deleted from the document.

Overview Table

DOM Interface: HTMLModElement

Besides the global attributes the following attributes are supported:

cite: The cite attribute may be used to specify the address of a document that explains the change. When that document is long (e.g. the minutes of a meeting) authors are encouraged to include a fragment identifier pointing to the specific part of that document that discusses the change.
datetime; The datetime attribute may be used to specify the time and date of the change. If present, it must be a valid date string with optional time.

Examples

This example uses the <del>' element to mark deleted text.

<p>This text existed in the document when it
was written and persists. <del datetime="1997-10-01T12:15:30-05:00">This text was deleted on 1 October 1997.</del></p>

This example uses <ins> and <del> elements to explain changes in a document

<p>I <del>am</del><ins>was</ins> on vacation in <del>France</del><ins>Italy</ins>.</p>
<p>
  <del>It is supposed to be sunny and hot.</del>
  <ins>It rained in France so we decided to go to Italy instead.</ins>
</p>

Usage

 The default behavior of the del element is as a phrasing-level element, but it can be wrapped around any element within the body.

Notes

The default browser display of del is struck-through (with a line through the vertical middle of the text).

If you want to strike-through text, but the word or phrase in question is not a deletion, you should use the CSS rule text-decoration: strikethrough on the appropriate element enclosing the text.

While s and del appear to perform the same function—marking obsolete content—they differ in semantics. The del element marks text that has been removed from the document, but s marks text that is to be kept in the document, but is no longer accurate.

For Internet Explorer 8 and later the value of the cite attribute depends on the current document compatibility mode.
