HTML <li> value Attribute

The value attribute of the <li> element is used to set the value of the list item. Since the value is a number, it would be set only for the ol element in HTML i.e. the ordered list.

Following is the syntax −

<li value="num">

Above, num is the value of the list item in an ordered list.

Let us now see an example to implement the value attribute of the <li> element −

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Subjects</h1>
<p>Following are the subjects −</p>
<ol>
   <li>Maths</li>
   <li>Science</li>
   <li>English</li>
   <li>French</li>
</ol>
<p>Remaining subjects −</p>
<ol>
   <li value="5">Coffee</li>
   <li>Accounts</li>
   <li>Programming</li>
   <li>Networking</li>
</ol>
</body>
</html>

Output

HTML <li> value Attribute

In the above example, we have set two unordered lists −

<p>Following are the subjects −</p>
<ol>
   <li>Maths</li>
   <li>Science</li>
   <li>English</li>
   <li>French</li>
</ol>
<p>Remaining subjects −</p>

<ol>
   <li value="5">Coffee</li>
   <li>Accounts</li>
   <li>Programming</li>
   <li>Networking</li>
</ol>

One of them is not beginning from the default 1. We have set a different value using the value attribute −

<ol>
   <li value="5">Coffee</li>
   <li>Accounts</li>
   <li>Programming</li>
   <li>Networking</li>
</ol>
