Event.target.value not retrieving value properly

This HTML:

<li value="16-May-2017" data-reactid=".0.1.0.0.1.2.2.$16">16test</li>

I'm trying to retrieve the value of, with this React.js code:

  selectDate(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    console.log(event.target.value);
    if(this.state.whichDate == 0) {
      this.state.selectedToDate = event.target.value
      this.state.whichDate = 1
    } else {
      this.state.selectedFromDate = event.target.value
      this.state.whichDate = 0
    }
  }

However, I get "16" printed to console instead of "16-May-2017".

I thought it might be printing the text between the tags, but it can't be as I put test there to see... maybe it's not printing anything after the hyphen in the value?

What you want is:

console.log(event.target.getAttribute('value'));
