HTMLScriptElement: text property

Baseline Widely available *

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

* Some parts of this feature may have varying levels of support.

The text property of the HTMLScriptElement interface is a string that reflects the text content inside the <script> element. It acts the same way as the Node.textContent property.

It reflects the text attribute of the <script> element.

Value

Examples

html
<script id="el" type="text/javascript">
  const num = 10;
  console.log(num);
</script>
js
const el = document.getElementById("el");
console.log(el.text); // Output: "\n  const num = 10;\n  console.log(num);\n"
console.log(el.textContent); // Output: "\n  const num = 10;\n  console.log(num);\n"

el.text = "console.log(10);";
console.log(el.text); // Output: "console.log(10);"
console.log(el.textContent); // Output: "console.log(10);"
