In this article, we will set the value of an input element using HTML. The value attribute for <input> element in HTML is used to specify the initial value of the input element. It has different meaning for different input type:

  • The “button”, “reset” and “submit” property specifies the text on the button.
  • The “text”, “password” and “hidden” property specifies the initial value of the input field.
  • The “checkbox”, “radio” and “image” property specifies the value associated with the input.

Syntax:

<input value = "value">

Attribute Value: It contains single value text which specifies the value of input element.

Example 1:
