Client Side value to Server Side

[CatManDave]

I need to be able to see the value of a text field that was populated using client side scripting for use in server side scripting. Is this even possible?

yes, but you will need to pass the variable to the server in one of four possible methods:

1. use js to autosubmit a hidden form element to the server;
2. use a link to add the variable in a querystring;
3. submit a form to the server (most common);
4. remote scripting.

1, 2 and 3 are easy and straightforward, 4 is complex and not very popular.

It kinda depends on what you are doing, what the data is and what your desire is for the look/feel of the site. Bastien
