JavaScript / Jquery : How to find line-through words

I'm trying to find line-through words in a HTML page.

I know how to find the CSS property 

$(el).css('text-decoration');

This returns 

line-through solid rgb(64, 64, 64)

The problem is that the color may differ, and solid might be different too. So I need something like:

 $(el).css('text-decoration').contains('line-through');

but that won't work

$(element).css("property") return string in javascript, so use any method of string to find the matching content.

One of the method is yourstring.indexOf('somestring'), if found then returns the index of first matched character else returns -1.

$(el).css('text-decoration').indexOf('line-through')

Since .css()returns a string must use javascript string methods.

There are pretty much out there pick one. indexOf, match, regular expressions

$(el).css('text-decoration').indexOf('line-through') // returns -1 if not found

String.indexOf() will help you in this context.

Try,

$(el).css('text-decoration').indexOf('line-through')
