Re: Attribute value of <button> element

I'm not telling about "nonbracked" area (AKA element content, by the way).

I defined atributed value="" of <button> element like this:
<button value="login">Sign On</button>

So, when I want the value of the value="" attribute, in JS I will use:
button.getAttribute('value');

But this method doesn't return the right value "login" (which I defined) but
it returns "Sign On".

And I'm confused with this behaviour. (I really doesn't know any other way
of explanation of this problem.)
