textbox ignores disabled viewstate?

[PJ6]

I have a textbox control where OnKeyPress of Enter, a few hidden field
values are set and then form[0] is submitted from JavaScript. The page
reloads, and this textbox is then repopulated with data that may be
different than what the user just entered. Well, I'm having a problem with
this textbox getting its value set after the page Load event to the text the
user just entered - even when I've explicitly disabled ViewState! I found a
way around this by changing the ID of the TextBox every time the page loads
using a GUID... but is this really necessary? I must have missed something -
there must be a way of preventing the browser from blithely ignoring my
request not to record viewstate, right?

The textbox doesn't use ViewState to store its value. Instead its a simple
post in for Form collection.
Try setting the text property to a value of your choice in the Render event.

I had set AutoPostBack = False, too. Guess that doesn't matter though.

I think I'll override the Text property and just prevent it from being set.
I'll just have to remember not to try to set it the normal way in my own
code.

Thanks,
