Synopsis
VALUE=”text"
Optional/Required
Preassigns a value to an INPUT
element that is
submitted to the server as part of the name/value pair for the
element. Some INPUT
element types are not
submitted (an unchecked radio button, for example), but any value you
associate with all but the button or reset type
INPUT
element reaches the server when the element
is submitted.
In the case of text and password INPUT
elements,
the VALUE
attribute contains a default entry. As
the user makes a change to the content of the text field, the value
changes, although the source code does not. When a form is reset (via
a reset INPUT
element), the default values are put
back into the text fields.
The VALUE
attribute is required only for checkbox
and radio INPUT
elements. For
INPUT
elements that are rendered as standard
clickable buttons, the VALUE
attribute defines the
label that appears on the button.
Input Types
All.
Example
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="connections" VALUE="ISDN">ISDN
Value
Any text string.
Default
None.
