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.

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

A string.

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);"
