value

           Think of "value" as a reading of what something is or is not at a specific time. A checkbox can have a value of on or off depending if it's been clicked. A TEXT field can have a value of hidden if you don't want the user to see it. And, as noted above, a TEXT field can have input written to it. That's that field's value. That value can be called for and sent to other section of the JavaScript to be used else where. Possibly to display what the user had written to the text field.
