I know this is not standard but I want to set the value of a div, like this:

<div id="div" value="1">

document.getElementById('div').value = 2;

to use the value you have to use document.getElementById('div').getAttribute('value') but I cant find any way to set it. thanks in advance!

• 2 div's don't have a value attribute. You can use a data- attribute to store a value which can then be retrieved. – Rob Moll Commented Oct 14, 2021 at 1:03

You can't set a value to a div. Instead you can try to add a data attribute, like this:

<div id="div" data-value="1">

And if you want to access the data-value from javascript, just use

elem.dataset.{data_attribute_name};, in this case: document.getElementById('div').dataset.value;

Note that you can set multiple data attributes to one element, making it much more versatile than using value.
