Yes, it depends on what you're trying to do of course, but usually you
just set the input element's "value" property.  (The exception here is
<input type="file">, where the value property is read-only for security
reasons.)  This can be done even without javascript; just set the value
attribute in the HTML code if you want default values.  It shouldn't
matter what your backend language is.

We really can't do anything with that.  The url is useless because it's
not absolute, so we can't look at your code.  Please post a working
link if you want help.
