# Button value Property

Button Object

## Definition and Usage

The value property sets or returns the value of the value attribute of a button.

The value attribute specifies the underlying value that is associated with a button.

Important: If you use the button element in an HTML form, different browsers will submit different values. Internet Explorer will submit the text between the <button> and </button> tags, while other browsers will submit the content of the value attribute. Use the input element instead, to create buttons in an HTML form.

## Syntax

buttonObject.value=value

## Browser Support

The value property is supported in all major browsers.

## Example

Return the text displayed on the button:

<html>
<body>
<input type="button" id="button1" value="Click Me!">
<p>The text on the button is:
<script>
document.write(document.getElementById("button1").value);
</script></p>
</body>
</html>
