- For "text", "password", and "hidden" - it defines the initial (default) value of the input field
- For "checkbox", "radio", "image" - it defines the value associated with the input (this is also the value that is sent on submit)
Note: The value attribute is required with <input type="checkbox"> and <input type="radio">.
