I need to give a default value for input type=text field as follows:

<input type="text" size="32" value="" name="fee" />

There is one way to give this default value as I know:

<input type="text" size="32" value="1000" name="fee" />

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.

this is working for me

<input defaultValue="1000" type="text" />

or

let x = document.getElementById("myText").defaultValue;

A non-jQuery way would be setting the value after the document is loaded:

<input type="text" id="foo" />

<script>
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(event) { 
        document.getElementById('foo').value = 'bar';
    });
</script>
