accessing html input fields

[Jessica Weiner]

I have an input field defined outside the <form> area. Its a simple html
text input that is used to enter the number of hours.

<input id="HoursField" name="hours" type="text" />

I want to access this field from the server side (c# code). I tried these
two methods to access the field but they dont work. Please help.

String[] tempArray;
tempArray = Request.Form.GetValues("hours");
Response.Write (tempArray[0]);

---

string val = Request.QueryString["hours"].ToString();
Response.Write (val);

I have an input field defined outside the <form> area.

By doing so, you don't pass the name/value pair of that <input> element
to your gateway program, so there is no way to read it out. (but then,
why on earth would one want to place it outside the form if you need it
to reach the server?)

[...]

Hope this helps,

If it absolutely necessary to place input out of the form you can
achieve your goal by adding input field dinamically to the form
directly before posting the form to the server.

at client side:

<script type=text/javascript>
function SubmitHours()
{
document.forms[0].appendChild(document.getElementById('HoursField'));
document.forms[0].submit();
}
</script>
.....
<input id="HoursField" name="hours" type="text" >
<input type="button" value="Post Hours" onclick="SubmitHours()">
.....


at the server side in Page_Load:

if (Request.Form["hours"] != null)
{
string s = Request.Form["hours"];
//.........
}
