I'm trying to change the contents of an input tag using a JS function but nothing I tried seems to work. Here's what I tried:
function go (){
document.getElementById("input").innerHTML.value = 5;
};<body>
<input type="number" id="input">
<button onclick="go()">go</button>
</body>Would really appreaciate it if someone show me how this is done
just use document.getElementById("input").value
function go (){
document.getElementById("input").value = 5;
};<body>
<input type="number" id="input">
<button onclick="go()">go</button>
</body>You don't want to change the innerHTML, just the value of the input element (which is an attribute). So this should work. I changed to a string because that's what attributes usually are, but it shouldn't matter.
document.getElementById("input").value = "5";
