value (attribute )

Owning interface and usage:

Attr.value

Member of these other interfaces:

none

Readonly: no

Description:

On retrieval, the value of the attribute is returned as a string. Character and general entity references are replaced with their values.
On setting, this creates a Text node with the unparsed contents of the string. I.e. any characters that an XML processor would recognize as markup are instead treated as literal text.

Note:

(See also methods getAttribute() and setAttribute() on the Element interface.)

Exception:

DOMException NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: This exception raises on setting when the node is readonly.

Example:

JavaScript:	var attr = document.createAttribute('temp'); attr.value = 'temporary'; var output = attr.value;

Output:

desired	your browser
temporary
