HTML DOM DefaultValue Properties

Definition and usage

The DefaultValue property sets or returns the initial contents of the text box.

Note: The initial value of the text box is the text that is located between the <textarea> and the </textarea> labels. When the form is reset, the text box is restored to the entire value. Changing the value of this property changes the text currently displayed in the text box.

Syntax: Textareaobject.defaultvalue=text

Example 1:

The following example indicates the default value for the text box:

<input id= "Input" value= "SNTETWT"/><script>    $ (function () {        alert (document.getElementById (' Input '). DefaultValue);       Result: SNTETWT        alert (document.getElementById (' input '). value);    }); </script>
