defaultValue Property

---

Sets or retrieves the initial contents of the object.

Syntax

HTML	N/A
Scripting	object.defaultValue [ = sValue ]

Possible Values

sValue

String that specifies the initial value of the object.

The property is read/write with no default value.

Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see Dynamic Properties.

Remarks

The value of the property can be changed programmatically, but doing so has no effect on the appearance of the object or the submitted value. It does, however, change the initial value of the object when the form is reset.

Applies To

INPUT type=button, INPUT type=checkbox, INPUT type=file, INPUT type=hidden, INPUT type=image, INPUT type=password, INPUT type=radio, INPUT type=reset, INPUT type=submit, INPUT type=text, TEXTAREA
