HTMLMeterElement: value property
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since October 2018.
The value
property of the HTMLMeterElement
interface represents the current value of the <meter>
element as a floating-point number. It reflects the element's value
attribute. If no value
is set, it is the HTMLMeterElement.min
value or 0
, whichever is greater.
This property can also be set directly, for example to set a default value based on some condition.
Value
A number. Defaults to either HTMLMeterElement.min
or 0
, whichever if greater, if not defined.
Examples

<label for="fuel">Current fuel level:</label>
