Html.Attributes.value docs should mention textarea

[iancanderson]

I was mislead by the docs for the Html.Attributes.value function, since it didn't mention that it worked with textarea. I was instead trying to bind the contents of the textarea to the underlying model by setting the value of an inner text node.

Thanks for elm! It's been really great so far!

Thanks :)

I am trying to find some docs that say all the things the .value property works on. I found this, but it does not list all DOM nodes that have a value field. Can you try to find some documentation for this case? And ideally find a list that says "tags A, B, C, etc. all have a value property that is a string"?

Sorry, I couldn't find a canonical list of DOM elements with the .value property in a single place.

However, a mozilla page describes the property for each of the relevant HTMLElement subclasses, if that helps: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLButtonElement https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLInputElement https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLLIElement https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLParamElement https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLProgressElement (though its a double value) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTextAreaElement

I also noticed that the meter element didn't seem to have value defined: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMeterElement
