Retrieve a value set by javascript in asp.net 1

[hjmc]

I have initialised the value of an ASP:LABEL (called "myhiddenControl" in code below) from within a client side javascript routine.

srceEl = document.getElementById ("myhiddenControl");
srceEl.innerHTML = "TESTER";

I can see this on the screen and it works.

But when I postback, the value of the label is not being carried back to the server.

Can someone suggest what I may have missed out.

Thanks

Yes, you've missed out including it as part of the data that is sent to the server. Try adding it do a hidden input and posting the value that way.

Hi

I have changed my ASP:LABEL to a ASP:TEXTBOX and used this

srceEl = document.getElementById ("hiddenControl");
srceEl.value = rowValue;

Again I can see the value in the text box but not when I postback. (By postback I mean clicking a button and looking at the value in the textbox in the click handler.)

Am I still doing something wrong?

You will need to show us the full code you are using as you are doing something wrong but it's hard to guess exactly what.

Hi ca8msm,

I am so sorry for being rude and not thanking you. I did get this working exactly as you pointed out.

Once again Thanks as I do rely on you guys.
