The value attribute on an <input> tag sets the value of the element.

    First name &nbsp; <input type="text" name="firstname" value="Alex"><br /><br />
    Last name &nbsp; <input type="text" name="lastname" value="McNeil"><br /><br />
  
    <label>Gender</label> &nbsp;

 </fieldset>
</form>

Using value

#

The value attribute specifies the value of the input element.

The semantics (meaning) of the value attribute depends on the input type. For example:

For button, reset, and submit, the value is used as the button text.
For text, password, and hidden, the value serves as the initial value.
For checkbox, radio, and image, the value is submitted when selected or clicked.
