Why innerText,innerHTML property doesnt work on input tags in javascript?

by

So i stumbled upon following code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

Name: <input type="text" id="myText" value="Mickey">

<p>Click the button to change the value of the text field.</p>

<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>

<script>
function myFunction() {
  document.getElementById("myText").value = "Johnny Bravo";
}
</script>

</body>
</html>

And not having used .value before in javascripte i thought to substitute it by innerText property but it just simply doesnt work !

I am having an idea that maybe as <input/> is a self closing tag that’s why innerText isnt able to insert in between it ? As such to insert in between an element there atleast should be 2 tags

SO can anyone consolidate this ? Or if not then why .innerText isnt working here instead of .value

  21. Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from
    an established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog?
    I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.
    I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not
    sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions?

    Cheers
