ShadowRoot: innerHTML property
The innerHTML
property of the ShadowRoot
interface sets gets or sets the HTML markup to the DOM tree inside the ShadowRoot
.
Note that some browsers serialize the <
and >
characters as <
and >
when they appear in attribute values (see Browser compatibility).
This is to prevent a potential security vulnerability (mutation XSS) in which an attacker can craft input that bypasses a sanitization function, enabling a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.
Value
A string.
When set to the null
value, that null
value is converted to the empty string (""
), so sr.innerHTML = null
is equivalent to sr.innerHTML = ""
.
Examples
Setting the innerHTML of a Shadow root
js
let customElem = document.querySelector("my-shadow-dom-element");
let shadow = customElem.shadowRoot;
shadow.innerHTML = "<strong>This element should be more important!</strong>";
