Question

I am trying to set dynamically innerHTML for value tag in IE.

The output I expect is this.

<input type="hidden" >a0FQ0000009rJfCMAU</input>

I tried innerHTML in IE but it was not working since it is supported for INPUT element. So, I tried the following out of desperation.

myElementId.setAttribute("value",textNodeId);

Unfortunately this is not what I want.

<input type="hidden" value="a0FQ0000009rJfCMAU">

Please advise.

Answer 1

If you check the input element’s specification, you see that its Content Model should be empty. Thus, what you try to find is logically invalid HTML.
