Client-Side and Server-Side Control

[Ogre]

I need to access a control that's used client-side and server side. Is this possible? For example, I have an input box on a form that's manipulated using javascript. When the form is submitted, I need the code behind the page to be able to access that input box, but I can't find any way to get to it.

Hi Ogre,

If you mean accesing any property for your server-side control in the
client-side then no, thats not possible without writing some (large)
ammount of code. The opposite isn't supported automatically also, that is,
accessing any client-side properties from the server-side. Note that this is
not supported out of the box just because at first it doesn't make much
sense, but if you have a need for this, nothing stops you from implementing
such support.

Note that in your example you don't need any additional support to get at
the text property from the client-side AND the server-side.

So I CAN access the input box on the server? How is that? The input box is simply that: <INPUT name=txtBox>. How can the code access txtBox?

Well, you can simply use Page.Request.Params["txtBox"] to get the actual
value sent to the page.

Question. the Server-Side Textbox control ends up rendering a <input
type="text"> HTML element. Why can't you just use that?
