VALUE — NN all IE all HTML all

Synopsis

VALUE=”text"

Optional

Associates a value with an OPTION that may or may not be the same as the text displayed in the SELECT element. When the SELECT element is in a form submitted to the server, the value of the VALUE attribute is assigned to the name/value pair for the SELECT element if the option has been selected by the user (or is designated as SELECTED with that attribute and the user has made no other selection). For scripting purposes, the VALUE attribute might contain values such as URLs or string representations of objects that may subsequently be processed by scripts.

Example

<OPTION VALUE="met101"> Meteorology 101

Value

Any string of characters. The string must be inside a matching pair of (single or double) quotation marks.

Default

None.
