Linethrough/strikethrough a whole HTML table row

After some research, I couldn't find an answer to this question. There was this but it didn't really answer my question. I would like to "strikethrough" a complete HTML table row in CSS, not just the text in it. Is it at all possible? From the example that I linked, it seems tr styling doesn't even work in Firefox. (And anyway, text-decoration only applies on text afaik)

Oh yes, yes it is!

CSS:

table {
    border-collapse: collapse;
}

td {
    position: relative;
    padding: 5px 10px;
}

tr.strikeout td:before {
    content: " ";
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    left: 0;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #111;
    width: 100%;
}

HTML:

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>Stuff</td>
        <td>Stuff</td>
        <td>Stuff</td>
    </tr>
    <tr class="strikeout">
        <td>Stuff</td>
        <td>Stuff</td>
        <td>Stuff</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Stuff</td>
        <td>Stuff</td>
        <td>Stuff</td>
    </tr>
</table>
