How do I enter strikethrough text in a web form

Is it possible to submit some text in web form where some of the text is in strikethough?

Is there some Alt key combination that I can use?

Actually, you can enter strikethrough text into a web-form using unicode characters, which is pretty universal these days. To generate the text, you could use one of these tools and then copy/paste the output.

Strikethrough is like a font. It's an attribute of the text, not text itself. Since forms are submitted in plain text, you can't have any formatting submitted with it.

Unless it supports HTML, no, as far as I know.

Probably not, but it depends on the web form. Most web forms accept just plain text.

You see strikethrough on web pages (like in your question) as a bit of HTML formatting. If the web form supports HTML it might support strikethrough. Try using the <strike> tag around your text.

There is also a combining diacritic defined for overlaying strikethrough on Unicode characters, but that's even more esoteric than HTML support in a web form.
