HTMLOptionElement: 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 HTMLOptionElement represents the text inside the <option> element.
This property represents the same information as Node.textContent.
Note:
If the element has a label, the text inside the <option> is not visually rendered. In this case, the text property can still be used to set the content, but it will have no visible effect.
Value
A string.
Example
js
const optionElement = document.getElementById("exampleOption");
console.log(`Text property: ${optionElement.text}`);
optionElement.text = "Updated text";
