Definition and Usage

The value property sets or returns the value of the value attribute of a button.

The value attribute specifies the underlying value that is associated with a button.

Important: If you use the button element in an HTML form, different browsers will submit different values. Internet Explorer will submit the text between the <button> and </button> tags, while other browsers will submit the content of the value attribute. Use the input element instead, to create buttons in an HTML form.

</script></p>
