Button value Property

Button Object Reference Button Object

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.

Syntax

buttonObject.value=value


Browser Support

Internet Explorer Firefox Opera Google Chrome Safari

The value property is supported in all major browsers.


Example

Example

Return the text displayed on the button:

<html>
<body>

<input type="button" id="button1" value="Click Me!">

<p>The text on the button is:
<script>
document.write(document.getElementById("button1").value);
</script></p>

</body>
</html>
