Sets or retrieves the value of a list item.

Syntax

HTML	<LI VALUE = sValue... >
Scripting	LI.value [ = sValue ]

Possible Values

The property is read/write. The property has no default value.

Expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s), as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5. For more information, see About Dynamic Properties.

Remarks

In an ordered list, the value is the number that precedes the list item. Changing the value will change the visual numbering of all following list items. In an unordered list, the value is initially zero. Changing the value has no visual effect on the item.
