HTMLOutputElement: value property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since October 2018.

The value property of the HTMLOutputElement interface represents the value of the <output> element as a string, or the empty string if no value is set. It returns or sets the contents of the element, similar to the textContent property.

Note: When the value property of an <output> element is set, the element goes into value mode and the default value is accessible only through the HTMLOutputElement.defaultValue property.

Value

A string containing the contents of the <output> element.

Examples

js
const outputElement = document.getElementById("log");
console.log(`value: ${outputElement.value}`);
