How do I change the value of a button in HTML?

To change the button text, first we need to access the button element inside the JavaScript by using the document. getElementById() method and add a click event handler to the button, then set it's value property to blue . Now, when we click on our button , it changes the value from Red to Blue or vice versa.

Can a submit button have a value?

Value. An <input type="submit"> element's value attribute contains a string which is displayed as the button's label. Buttons do not have a true value otherwise.

Can a HTML form have 2 submit buttons?

yes, multiple submit buttons can include in the html form. One simple example is given below.


It's possible using the button element.

<button name="name" value="value" type="submit">Sök</button>

From the W3C page on button:

Buttons created with the BUTTON element function just like buttons created with the INPUT element, but they offer richer rendering possibilities: the BUTTON element may have content.


Following the @greg0ire suggestion in comments:

<input type="submit" name="add_tag" value="Lägg till tag" />

In your server side, you'll do something like:

if (request.getParameter("add_tag") != null)
    tags.addTag( /*...*/ );

(Since I don't know that language (java?), there may be syntax errors.)

I would prefer the <button> solution, but it doesn't work as expected on IE < 9.


There are plenty of answers here explaining what you could do (I use the different field name one) but the simple (and as-yet unstated) answer to your question is 'no' - you can't have a different text and value using just HTML.


I don't know if I got you right, but, as I understand, you could use an additional hidden field with the value "add tag" and let the button have the desired text.
