Name
outerText — NN n/a IE 4 DOM n/a
Synopsis
Read/Write
The rendered text (but not any tags) of the current element. If you
want the rendered text as well as the element’s HTML tags, see
outerHTML
. Any changes to this property are not
rendered through the HTML parser, meaning that any HTML tags you
include are treated as displayable text content only. You may change
this property only after the document has fully loaded. Changes to
the outerText
property are not reflected in the
source code when you view the source in the browser. This property is
not supported in many objects in the Macintosh version of Internet
Explorer 4.
Example
document.all.elementID
.outerText = "UNESCO"
Value
