Solution 1

The value="" simply specifies an initial value (in this case, nothing) to be displayed in the text box (which is the default type of input element). It has nothing to do with what may or may not be accepted in the input element.

Solution 2

To add to what Peter has said ... An input control has only one value, it cannot ever accept "multiple values" as it only has a single string property which allows your code to access what the user has entered.

What about reading the documentation and experimenting ( put a value between quotes and see what happen )?
