I want to put a value in an HTML input field element with JavaScript and to also use it as-putted.- I can put it with the browser console this way:
- ```js
- document.querySelector("#example").value = "X";
- ```
- But, the value isn't effective (isn't recognized by the form) unless actually typed with the keyboard or pasted.
- What may cause that problem?

Why would a form value inserted with value property won't be effective?
I want to put a value in an HTML input field element with JavaScript and to also use it as-putted.
I can put it with the browser console this way:
```js
document.querySelector("#example").value = "X";
```
But, the value isn't effective (isn't recognized by the form) unless actually typed with the keyboard or pasted.
What may cause such a problem and what are plausible options to deal with it?
