Add new properties to <Input> tag

How to add new properites to <Input> tag?

I am trying to make another property called .text?, because some of old code
uses third party control, ahd needs (dot).text to store/retrive the value
insted of (dot).value property.

Thanks in advance.

Add new properties to <Input> tag

Simply add a text property to the input and update its value when the
input's value changes:

Add new properties to <Input> tag

Does setAttribute work in IE4? I'm not sure it does.

VBScript won't add a property to an object; you have to add a text property
to the input tag in your html so the script can modify it.
vvvv
<input name="txtName" type="text" text onchange="vbscript:me.text=me.value">
^^^^
The simple solution is to use JavaScript, since it will gleefully add
properties to objects if they don't already exist:

The benefit of using JavaScript for client-side scripting is that a lot more
browsers support it than just IE/Win.

If your target audience uses IE5+/Win exclusively, the VBScript/setAttribute
solution should be fine.
