HTML <del> Tag

The <del> tag in HTML is used to display the deleted text, which would strike a line on that specific text/texts.

Following are the attributes of the <del> tag −

cite − A URL that would tell why the text was deleted
datetime − The date and time when the text was deleted.

Let us now see an example to implement the <del> element in HTML −

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>Player Details with Reporting Time</h2>
<p>These are the <ins>details with reporting time</ins></p>
<form>
<fieldset>
   <legend>New Details −</legend>
   Player − <input type="text"><br>
   Rank − <input type="number"><br>
   Email − <input type="email"><br>
   Reporting Time − <input type="time">
</fieldset>
</form>
<p><del>All data captured before the World Cup.<del></p>
</body>
</html>

This will produce the following output displaying a strike text, since we have deleted that entire line −
