For form completion how do I get type strike through when required?

more options

To register for a website I have to complete or show the letters or words as shown. The shown words/letters have strike-through and I don't think Firefox has the function to do text strike-through. How do I get around this problem?

Cheers

If this is a CAPTCHA form, the letters and numbers may be crossed or distorted simply to make it hard for a computer to read them. As Fred suggests, the site probably doesn't expect you to be able to type them with a line through them.

Anyway, in an ordinary text entry form, no formatting of any kind of accepted.

The strike thru is a special character. Different web sites may use different command codes to display them.

Try just typing the letters themselves.
