How to define a default value for input type text without using attribute value

Question

I need to give a default value for input type text field as follows    lt input type  text  size  32  value    name  fee    gt    There is one way to give this default value as I know    lt input type  text  size  32  value  1000  name  fee    gt    Here is the question  Is it possible that I can set the default value without using attribute  value    As I know  if I set the enter the value 1000 manually  and then view the source through web browser the value is still empty  So I think there may be a method that I can use

The value is there  The source is not updated as the values on the form change  The source is from when the page initially loaded

You can use Javascript   For example  using jQuery       text   val  1000      However  this won t be any different from using the value attribute

You should rather use the attribute placeholder to give the default value to the text input field    e g    lt input type  text  size  32  placeholder  1000  name  fee    gt

A non-jQuery way would be setting the value after the document is loaded      lt input type  text  id  foo    gt    lt script gt      document addEventListener  DOMContentLoaded   function event             document getElementById  foo   value    bar            lt  script gt
