title: AngularJS Use Input Value Attribute
body: <p>How can I direct AngularJS to assimilate the <code>value</code> attribute into the model?  Any field that I give an <code>ng-model</code> attribute has its <code>value</code> immediately replaced with nothing, or whatever I define in the controller.  Here's some code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form action="" method="post" ng-controller="PageCtrl"&gt;
      &lt;input type="text" name="title" ng-model="title" value="Initial field value"&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And the Javascript...</p>
  
  <pre><code>function PageCtrl($scope, Slug) {
      $scope.title = null;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried not setting<code>$scope.title</code>, setting it to other things, but no matter what I do, the <code>value</code> is completely ignored.  What can I do?</p>
