VALUE — NN all IE all HTML all
Synopsis
VALUE=”text"Optional
Associates a value with an OPTION that may or may
not be the same as the text displayed in the
SELECT element. When the SELECT
element is in a form submitted to the server, the value of the
VALUE attribute is assigned to the name/value pair
for the SELECT element if the option has been
selected by the user (or is designated as SELECTED
with that attribute and the user has made no other selection). For
scripting purposes, the VALUE attribute might
contain values such as URLs or string representations of objects that
may subsequently be processed by scripts.
Example
<OPTION VALUE="met101"> Meteorology 101
Value
Any string of characters. The string must be inside a matching pair of (single or double) quotation marks.
Default
None.
