(rant) If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It!

Do it the correct way and it should work in everything.

US Dollars<br/><span style="text-decoration:line-through;">$9.95</span>

You can also get fancy with css and make the strikethrough a different color.

US Dollars<br/><span style='color:red;text-decoration:line-through'><span style='color:black'>$9.95</span>

Even better than doing css inline is to put the style in a stylesheet and call it up with a class.

When I learnt HTML I was never taught to use the "style" tag, it was so long ago, it may not have been added to HTML then. (G has no class, I have no style!) I have tried to learn the various attributes, but no one seems to publish a complete list. (Is it a trade secret or something?) So basically what I know comes from "reverse engineering" other people's websites and from board posts like your one here.

All the online tutorials on style expect you to learn CSS or object oriented style, and I am putting off learning CSS as long as possible (which is probably stupid - I did the same thing with Perl, and since I finally got round to learning it I have never worked out how I managed without it).

However, in my own defence: Before writing the webpage that caused this rant I did a Google search for a better method and was told by several websites that the "correct" method is to use "strike" and "del" together.
