[SOLVED] HTML/CSS or JS: Overprinting characters?

Steve W · 03-01-2014, 01:11 PM

I want to do "diagonal strikethrough" on some characters on a web page, but since I don't think this is available as a character style, the only way I can think of is to overprint forward slashes across the respective characters. But I cannot find a way to do this, either with direct formatting or with a style. Is it possible using HTML or JS to overprint one character across another, but keep both characters displayed?

Isn't there a unicode for that? Something like ̷ or ̸

You could give out these characters in a <span class="diagonalStrike">o</span>

Within the css add a background image showing a png with a slash to that class. I think that could do the job.

Okay, thanks for the info.
