Set the text of the button by setting the innerHTML  var b   document createElement  button    b setAttribute  content    test content    b setAttribute  class    btn    b innerHTML    test value    var wrapper   document getElementById  divWrapper    wrapper appendChild b     http   jsfiddle net jUVpE

Use textContent instead of value to set the button text  Typically the value attribute is used to associate a value with the button when it s submitted as form data  Note that while it s possible to set the button text with innerHTML  using textContext should be preferred because it s more performant and it can prevent cross-site scripting attacks as its value is not parsed as HTML  JS  var b   document createElement  button    b setAttribute  content    test content    b setAttribute  class    btn      b textContent    test value    var wrapper   document getElementById  quot divWrapper quot    wrapper appendChild b    Produces this in the DOM   lt div id  quot divWrapper quot  gt       lt button content  quot test content quot  class  quot btn quot  gt test value lt  button gt   lt  div gt   Demo  https   jsfiddle net 13ucp6ob

The value of a button element isn t the displayed text  contrary to what happens to input elements of type button   You can do this     b appendChild document createTextNode  test value       Demonstration
