Change input type value attribute in jQuery
Let’s say the following is our input type with value, “John Smith” −
<input type = 'text' value = 'John Smith' id = 'changeTheName' />
To change, use the attr() method −
$('#changeTheName').attr('value', 'Please enter your name.......');
You need to use the concept of attr(). Following is the code −
Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initialscale=1.0"> <title>Document</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script> </head> <body> <input type = 'text' value = 'John Smith' id = 'changeTheName' /> <script> $('#changeTheName').attr('value', 'Please enter your name.......'); </script> </body> </html>
To run the above program, save the file name “anyName.html(index.html)” and right click on the file. Select the option “Open with Live Server” in VS Code editor.
