Accessing HTML text box values server side aspx

[Ryan]

Hello,

If I have an HTML text box that I want to manipulate with javascript,
how can I access the value of the text box on postback server-side?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hey Ryan,
Make it runat=server. You can then reference it in the codeBehind like:
this.Text1.value

Hi Ryan,

You can use...

Dim myString as string

myString = Request.Form("txtBoxName")

Will a runat=server control render if it is not visible? That is the
problem I have using the web control. The Request.Form works but then
I had to response.write my javascript...
