Difference between innerText and textContent.

innerText returns the visible text contained in a node only, where textContent returns the full text.


<span>Hello <span style="display: none;">World</span></span>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

  • innerText will return 'Hello'

  • textContent will return 'Hello World'
