  • 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?

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?
