                            InputElement

Represents an `<input>` element.

You can get the type with `.type` (which is lower-cased and defaults to `'text'`).

Also you can get and set the value with `.value`

Checkboxes and radios have the attribute `input.checkable == True` (for all others it is false) and a boolean attribute `.checked`.

Property Details | [hide private]

### checkable Boolean: can this element be checked? Get Method: unreachable.checkable(self) - Boolean: can this element be checked?

### checked Boolean attribute to get/set the presence of the `checked` attribute. You can only use this on checkable input types. Get Method: unreachable.checked(self) - Boolean attribute to get/set the presence of the `checked` attribute. Set Method: unreachable.checked(self, value)

### type Return the type of this element (using the type attribute). Get Method: unreachable.type(self) - Return the type of this element (using the type attribute). Set Method: unreachable.type(self, value)

### value Get/set the value of this element, using the `value` attribute. Also, if this is a checkbox and it has no value, this defaults to `'on'`. If it is a checkbox or radio that is not checked, this returns None. Get Method: unreachable.value(self) - Get/set the value of this element, using the `value` attribute. Set Method: unreachable.value(self, value) Delete Method: unreachable.value(self)
